Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Trim the baby bok choy by cutting off the ends and separating the leaves. Rinse thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the bok choy leaves to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the leaves are tender and the stems are slightly softened.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring to evenly coat the bok choy. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top before serving for added flavor and presentation.
