Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon White sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim the tough base ends, then slice each bok choy in half lengthwise.
Peel and mince the garlic. Peel the ginger and finely grate it.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil, swirling to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Place the bok choy cut-side down in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without stirring to allow the bok choy to develop a light sear.
Flip the bok choy and drizzle the soy sauce over the top. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and salt. Toss gently to coat the bok choy with the seasonings.
Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy is tender and the stems are slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair it with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
