Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 200 grams snow peas
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt and cut each head lengthwise into quarters.
Rinse the snow peas and trim the ends if needed.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the baby bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir well to combine with the bok choy.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and water. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is tender but still crisp, and the snow peas are bright green.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
