Garlic Stir-Fried Bok Choy
A simple yet flavorful dish where bok choy is quickly stir-fried with garlic for a warm, savory finish. Ready in minutes, this dish is perfect as a healthy side or a light main alongside rice or noodles.
Instructions
Begin by placing a large pan or wok over medium heat and adding the vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat for a minute until it shimmers slightly, indicating it is ready for cooking.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté gently for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The garlic should become fragrant and lightly golden, releasing its aroma.
Next, add the chopped bok choy to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables continuously for 3–4 minutes, ensuring they cook evenly. The leaves will begin to wilt and soften, while the stems should remain slightly crisp, giving the dish a pleasant texture contrast.
Once the bok choy is cooked to the desired tenderness, drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Stir everything well so the bok choy is evenly coated with the seasoning and absorbs the flavors. Remove from heat and serve hot as a simple, flavorful, and nutritious dish.
