Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Bok choy
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing the bok choy under running water to remove any dirt or sand.
Trim the ends and separate the leaves. Chop the stalks and leaves into bite-sized pieces, keeping them separate.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden.
Add the bok choy stalks to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the bok choy leaves, stir-fry them together for an additional 2 minutes, or until the leaves begin to wilt.
Pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce mixture over the bok choy and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring the bok choy is well-coated and tender.
Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, adding red pepper flakes if desired for a hint of spice.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the bok choy and give it a final stir to combine the flavors.
Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried bok choy hot as a side dish or part of a larger meal.
