Place beef strips into bowl and combine with garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and white cracked pepper (no salt). Marinate for 30 minutes.

Add bok choy to wok and toss for 30 seconds, adding a touch of salt. Remove with slotted spoon and add marinade to wok with pappadelle.

Arrange fresh peashoots on plate and top with pappadelle mixture, twisting for height.
