Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound bok choy
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Trim the ends of the bok choy and separate the stalks. Cut larger leaves and stalks in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30-60 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to high and add the bok choy to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the leaves and stalks in the garlic oil.
Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil while stirring. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the bok choy.
Stir-fry the bok choy for 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted and the stalks are tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking to retain a slight crunch.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the wilted garlic bok choy to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
