Bok choy is the perfect vegetable for a healthy side dish. This recipe is flavored with garlic, ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Try it with our easy chicken teriyaki recipe.
This was featured as part of our Chinese New Year Dishes photo gallery.
Instructions
- 1In a large frying pan with a tightfitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds.
- 2Add the bok choy and, using tongs, fold it into the garlic-ginger mixture until coated, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and water, cover, and cook until steam accumulates, about 1 minute. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are just wilted, the stalks are just fork tender but still crisp, and most of the water has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
- 3Turn off the heat, stir in the sesame oil, and season with salt if desired.
