Preparation
Boil the noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the celery crosswise on an angle. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.
Cook the beef & bok choy
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through. Add the bok choy; stir until tender.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ½ the vinegar, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), up to ½ the sambal oelek and the remaining spices. Add the celery and peanuts; toss well.
Combine the noodles & serve
To the pan of beef and bok choy, add the soy sauce, and remaining vinegar and sambal oelek (add ½ for medium spicy); stir well. Add the noodles; toss well. Divide the noodles between your bowls. Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
