Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons White pepper (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit, and pat dry. Slice each head in half lengthwise.
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and julienne the ginger into thin strips.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Add the minced garlic and julienned ginger to the wok, stirring constantly for 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to high and add the baby bok choy. Toss gently to coat with the oil, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the leaves begin to wilt and the stalks are tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared sauce over the bok choy, and sprinkle with salt and white pepper if desired. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the bok choy is evenly coated and heated through.
Remove the wok from heat and transfer the baby bok choy to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to complement any meal.
