Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Trim the baby bok choy by removing any tough outer leaves. Slice each head lengthwise into quarters. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt, and drain well.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Add the prepared bok choy to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the aromatic oil. Sprinkle salt over the bok choy.
Step 7
Pour the sauce mixture over the bok choy. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, or until the bok choy stems are tender-crisp and the leaves are wilted.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal.
