Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into wok.  When oil is hot, add meat stir-fry until browned (1 1/2 to 2 minutes).  Return bok choy to wok.  Stir sauce and add, then add sesame seeds.  Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens. 

Cooking Sauce.  Stir together 3/4 cup regular-strength chicken broth, 4 teaspoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 2 tablespoons dry sherry.

I used napa cabbage instead of bok choy.  That cut down on the prep time.  I used black sesame seeds.  There fore no toasting.  I also used pork instead of beef.
There is a women at wok who seems to have it out for me.  Every time she catches me doing something wrong she tells Linda.  I cant see how she can do her job while watching me!!  I am not sure what her problem is.  I have neither said or done anything to her.  I have to admit that I don't like her much.  She talks all the time.  Non stop talking.  It kind of gets on my nerves.  I try to avoid her as much a possible.  One day she sat down at my table for lunch.  Starting complaining about coworkers I got up and left.  I just had to put her in God's hands because I can't do anything about her
