Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 heads baby bok choy
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends of the baby bok choy and separate the leaves. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit, then pat dry.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the baby bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the greens are wilted and the stalks are tender but still crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture over the baby bok choy, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove from heat and transfer the baby bok choy to a serving platter. Serve immediately as a side dish to accompany rice or your favorite main course.
