A quick and healthy bok choy recipe with garlic and soy sauce, perfect as a side dish.
Equipment
- 1 Wok or large skillet
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
Main
- 1.5 lbs Bok Choy washed and chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce low sodium
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes optional
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Garnish
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds toasted
- 1 Green Onion sliced
Instructions
- Wash the bok choy thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized pieces, separating the stems from the leaves. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the bok choy stems to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
- Add the bok choy leaves and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the leaves are wilted but still vibrant green.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the bok choy and stir well to combine.
- Pour in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference. For a vegetarian option, ensure your soy sauce is vegetarian-friendly.
