Beef and Bok Choy Hot Pot

"This dish uses inexpensive stew meat, which becomes tender as the dish cooks for more than an hour. And while it's simmering, your house will be infused with the scents of cinnamon, ginger, and garlic. Add some bok choy and carrots, and serve over fettuccine or whatever noodles you have on hand for a comforting yet exotic dinner."

–Jill Melton, former Cooking Light food editor
