Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Garlic

The simplest Chinese vegetable dish — bok choy wilted in garlic and soy.

Ingredients

• 1 lb baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
• 2 tbsp oil
• 4 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• Pinch of sugar

Method

1. Heat oil in wok over high heat. Add garlic, 15 sec.

2. Add bok choy. Toss 2 min until stems are crisp-tender and leaves are wilted.

3. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar. Toss 30 sec.

What You're Practicing

• High heat and quick cooking keeps bok choy bright green and crisp.
• The stems and leaves cook at different rates — the stems need more time.
