Ingredients
- 1 pound Baby bok choy
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice baby bok choy in half lengthwise if small or into quarters if larger.
Step 2
Peel the ginger and finely mince or julienne it. Peel and finely mince the garlic.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it get hot.
Step 5
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pan, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the bok choy to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the bok choy is evenly coated with the ginger and garlic mixture.
Step 7
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the bok choy and stir well. Cover the skillet or wok and let the bok choy steam for 1-2 minutes to soften. Stir occasionally.
Step 8
Season with salt and white pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
