Spicy Beef With Shrimp and Bok Choy image

In my search for recipes using bok choy, I ran across this recipe on Yahoo.com I am trying to introduce my family to new ingedients and they have never eaten bok choy. This sounds like a delish recipe and preparation should be simple. Cook and prep times noted are estimates as I have not yet prepared this stir fry. This would be good served over rice noodles or brown basmati rice. If you try it before I do, please share your thoughts in the review process. NOTE: Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is available in most Asian specialty markets and some larger supermarkets in the Asian section. If unavailable, dry sherry is an acceptable substitute.
