Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Trim the baby bok choy by removing any tough outer leaves. Slice each head lengthwise into quarters. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt, and drain well.
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the prepared bok choy to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the aromatic oil. Sprinkle salt over the bok choy.
Pour the sauce mixture over the bok choy. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, or until the bok choy stems are tender-crisp and the leaves are wilted.
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal.
