Noodles with Honey-Balsamic Beef

In a wok or a 12-inch nonstick skillet, stir-fry ginger in hot oil over medium-high heat for 15 seconds. Add bok choy and onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add sweet peppers; stir-fry for 1 minute more or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from the wok.
