Ingredients
- 1 pound bok choy
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the bok choy and separate the stalks. Cut larger leaves and stalks in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30-60 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the bok choy to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the leaves and stalks in the garlic oil.
Step 7
Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil while stirring. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the bok choy.
Step 8
Stir-fry the bok choy for 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted and the stalks are tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking to retain a slight crunch.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the wilted garlic bok choy to a serving dish.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
