Add in Celery , Carrots and  cook unto they begin to soften , then add in Bok Choy, Green Onions and  Snow Peas cook until Bok Choy starts to wilt

 Remove from heat and add in the bean sprouts, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly before adding eggs (if you add the hot vegetables to the eggs at this point the eggs will scramble)

While the vegetables cool make your sauce

In a small sauce pan add the beef broth , garlic paste, ginger paste and rice wine vinegar and bring to a boil , stir and reduce heat to medium high and let that cook for a few minutes until the broth reduces slightly, in a small bowl whisk corn starch with water and mix until dissolved , then whisk into sauce until blended and the sauce thickens.

To make the Egg Foo Young take a 1 cup measuring cup and add 1/4 cup egg beaters and then add enough vegetables to equal 3/4 cup ,

 heat wok or non-stick skillet over medium high, ( if you are afraid the food will stick you can use a cooking spray)When your skillet is hot pour egg mixture into pan and use a spatula to keep the egg mixture in an oval  

 When egg mixture lifts easily with out breaking turn it over and cook the other side

Once both sides are cooked remove from pan and place on a baking sheet and place in a warm oven until all mixture is cooked. (This recipe made 8 servings )
