Preparation
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (2 Tbsp), white vinegar (1 Tbsp), grated ginger (1 Tbsp), minced garlic (1 clove), chili flakes (¼ tsp, optional), and beef broth (¼ cup). Set aside.
Cook the beef: Heat coconut oil (½ Tbsp) in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef (8 oz) and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
Stir-fry the vegetables: Add remaining coconut oil (½ Tbsp) to the same pan. Stir-fry snow peas (¼ cup), bok choy (¼ cup), and red bell pepper (½) for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine and finish: Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir everything together. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Serve: Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with peanuts (2 Tbsp) and green onions (garnish). Add extra chili flakes if desired.
An animated look at the Warburg effect—the observation that cancer cells consume glucose at exceptionally high rates, a principle used in PET imaging. It also examines research on sugar, insulin, fasting, and cancer metabolism, and why dietary strategies receive relatively little emphasis in conventional cancer care despite growing interest in metabolic therapies.
