Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium or gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the ends and separate the leaves.
Peel and mince the garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn.
Add the bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the leaves start to wilt and the stems begin to soften.
Pour in the soy sauce and chicken or vegetable stock. Stir to coat the bok choy evenly in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. The bok choy should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the bok choy and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side or enjoy on its own for a light low-carb meal.
