Quick Garlic Baby Bok Choy
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 pound baby bok choy
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat a cooking vessel, commonly referred to as a wok, over a moderate heat setting.
2
Add a small amount of oil and bring it to a state where it catches the light, indicating that it is heated through.
3
Introduce minced garlic into the wok and stir-fry until its aroma becomes noticeable, approximately 30 seconds.
4
Add a specific type of Asian green, known as bok choy, to the wok and cook for another 30 seconds.
5
Add a savory sauce made from soy sauce and sugar, then add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor; cook for 1 minute.
6
Pour water into the wok, cover it with a lid, and continue to cook until the leaves of the bok choy have turned a deep green color and its stems remain slightly firm, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
7
Remove the wok from the heat source.
8
Drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the bok choy and add a few grinds of black pepper to complete the dish.
