Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt and cut each head lengthwise into quarters.
Step 2
Rinse the snow peas and trim the ends if needed.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and water. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
