In a wok, heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat.

Add 250 g of ground beef and sauté for about 2 minutes, breaking it up until no longer pink.

Add the garlic and white parts of the green onions, stirring for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Reduce heat to low and add the seasoning paste, stirring for about 2 more minutes, being careful not to burn it.

Boil enough water in a pot and add the frozen noodles, cooking them a little less than the package instructions.

In the same boiling water, blanch the Baby Bok Choy for 1 minute.

Add half a cup of the noodle cooking water to the sauce in the wok and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Add the cooked noodles to the wok and stir for about 1 minute to coat them in the sauce.

Plate the noodles and garnish with Baby Bok Choy, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
