Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok and reduce the heat to medium. Add the ginger, onion, capsicum, carrot and cabbage and fry for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the bok choy, garlic and the spring onion whites and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the noodles, sesame oil, boiling water and remaining soy sauce. Fry until the water has evaporated, then add the steak and heat through. Serve with spring onion greens.
