Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound bok choy, washed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1. Begin by washing the bok choy thoroughly. Chop off the base and separate the leaves. Cut the leaves into bite-sized pieces, including the stems, as they add a nice crunch.
  2. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet or wok is completely heated before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
  3. 3. Add the minced garlic to the oil and stir continuously for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
  4. 4. Add the chopped bok choy to the skillet. If your bok choy is too much for the pan, add in batches. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the greens are wilted and the stalks are tender, yet still slightly crisp.
  5. 5. Stir in the soy sauce, water, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the bok choy evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. 6. Add the sesame oil at the end of the cooking process. Stir well and remove from heat. This addition gives the dish a lovely aroma and enhances the flavor.
  7. 7. Transfer the stir-fried bok choy to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
