Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly under running water, ensuring all grit is removed. Trim the ends and cut each bok choy lengthwise into halves or quarters, depending on size.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring they do not burn.
Add the bok choy to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the leaves wilt slightly and the stalks become tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared sauce over the bok choy. If desired, sprinkle in the red chili flakes for some heat. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the bok choy is evenly coated and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a simple, flavorful meal.
