Description
A quick recipe for preparing baby bok choy by sautéing it with garlic and soy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly and separate the leaves. Cut the base of each head so the leaves separate easily.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Add the bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until the leaves wilt and the stems are tender-crisp.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together quickly to coat the bok choy evenly.
- Add a pinch of salt if needed, depending on the saltiness of your soy sauce.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger with the garlic.
- If you prefer a slightly softer texture, cover the skillet for the last minute of cooking.
