Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Baby bok choy
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (optional)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice baby bok choy in half lengthwise if small or into quarters if larger.
Peel the ginger and finely mince or julienne it. Peel and finely mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it get hot.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pan, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Increase the heat to high and add the bok choy to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the bok choy is evenly coated with the ginger and garlic mixture.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the bok choy and stir well. Cover the skillet or wok and let the bok choy steam for 1-2 minutes to soften. Stir occasionally.
Season with salt and white pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
