Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the bok choy under running water to remove any dirt or sand.

Trim the ends and separate the leaves. Chop the stalks and leaves into bite-sized pieces, keeping them separate.

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden.
Step 7
Add the bok choy stalks to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until they start to soften.
Step 8
Add the bok choy leaves, stir-fry them together for an additional 2 minutes, or until the leaves begin to wilt.
Step 9
Pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce mixture over the bok choy and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring the bok choy is well-coated and tender.
Step 10
Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, adding red pepper flakes if desired for a hint of spice.
Step 11
Drizzle the sesame oil over the bok choy and give it a final stir to combine the flavors.
Step 12
Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried bok choy hot as a side dish or part of a larger meal.
