Let’s Get Cooking Spicy Garlic Bok Choy!

  2. Get that pan out, heat up the olive oil but not too hot, okay?
  3. Once you see it shimmering, like morning dew, toss in the garlic. Stir till it sings – or you know, gets fragrant.
  4. Next, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Spice it up!
  5. Time for the star: Bok Choy! Ensure every leaf gets some garlic and spice love.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and that dash of sesame oil.
  7. A sprinkle of salt and pepper, and you’re nearly there.
  8. Sauté till the Bok Choy’s as green as a rainforest and the stems have a friendly crunch, roughly 5 minutes.
  9. Plate it up, admire your handiwork, and dig in!

Some Friendly Tips

  1. Trust me on this: Fresh garlic changes the game. Avoid the bottled ones.
