Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound bok choy, chopped (both leaves and stems)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut off the ends and chop them into bite-sized pieces (both the leaves and stems).
Cooking
  1. In a large pan or wok, heat the olive or sesame oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for about 30-60 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn!
  3. Toss in the chopped bok choy and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the leaves wilt and the stems become tender-crisp.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and sauté for another minute.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy the nutritious crunch of your Sautéed Bok Choy!
