Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium or gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the ends and separate the leaves.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn.
Step 5
Add the bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the leaves start to wilt and the stems begin to soften.
Step 6
Pour in the soy sauce and chicken or vegetable stock. Stir to coat the bok choy evenly in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. The bok choy should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
Step 7
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the bok choy and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side or enjoy on its own for a light low-carb meal.
