Ingredients

4 servings

1 ½ lb baby bok choy (about 6–8 heads), halved lengthwise
2 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil)
Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
¼ tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Coconut sugar has a mild caramel flavor, and baked goods come out a little darker and slightly less sweet.
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the halved bok choy under cold water and shake off the excess moisture, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Dry bok choy browns rather than steams in the wok.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
