Ingredients
- 500 grams bok choi
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bok choi thoroughly under running water and pat dry. Halve or quarter the bok choi lengthwise, depending on their size, so the pieces are easier to handle.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and finely grate or mince the ginger.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Set the sauce aside.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to release their aroma without burning.
Step 6
Add the bok choi to the skillet. Toss quickly to coat with the garlic and ginger mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salt over the bok choi and continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the bok choi leaves are wilted but the stalks remain crisp-tender.
Step 8
Pour the sauce over the bok choi and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 9
Transfer the bok choi to a serving plate. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish alongside rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.
