Note

For the sake, you can substitute with Sherry or chicken broth if you prefer a non-alcoholic option.

Two jars (4.5 ounces each) of whole mushrooms, drained, can be substituted for the straw mushrooms if needed.

Ensure the beef is cut thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Do not overcook the bok choy to maintain its vibrant color and crisp texture.
