Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon White sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim the tough base ends, then slice each bok choy in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic. Peel the ginger and finely grate it.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil, swirling to coat the pan.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 5
Place the bok choy cut-side down in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without stirring to allow the bok choy to develop a light sear.
Step 6
Flip the bok choy and drizzle the soy sauce over the top. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and salt. Toss gently to coat the bok choy with the seasonings.
Step 7
Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy is tender and the stems are slightly crisp.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair it with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
