Ingredients
- 1 pound baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (toasted)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under running water, ensuring that any dirt or grit is removed from the stems. Pat dry and slice the bok choy in half lengthwise for smaller heads or into quarters for larger ones.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the avocado oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to release their fragrance, being careful not to burn them.
Step 5
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing continuously to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the coconut aminos over the bok choy. Add the sesame oil, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to coat the bok choy evenly in the sauce.
Step 7
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still crisp and the leaves are wilted.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried bok choy to a serving dish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
