Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 piece (1-inch) Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Slice each head in half lengthwise, and then slice into quarters if they are particularly large.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Grate or finely mince the ginger.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Add the baby bok choy to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the oil. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the leaves start to wilt and the stems become tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 7
Pour the sauce mixture over the baby bok choy and toss to evenly coat. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the bok choy is fully cooked.
Step 8
If using red chili flakes, sprinkle them in and stir briefly to distribute.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light main course.
