Ingredients

  • Bok Choy: About 4 decent-sized heads. That’s roughly 1 lb or 450g for those who love specifics.
  • Good Ol’ Fresh Garlic: Grab 5 cloves and mince them up.
  • Red pepper flakes: A pinch or 1/2 tsp depending on how brave you’re feeling today.
  • Olive oil: 2 generous tbsp.
  • A Dash of Sesame oil: 1 tsp should do.
  • Soy sauce low sodium, please: A couple of tbsp.
  • Salt & Pepper: About 1/4 tsp of each to season.

Instructions

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

Notes

Trust me on this: Fresh garlic changes the game. Avoid the bottled ones.
If you’re feeling spicy, just add more red pepper flakes.
No one likes overcooked veggies. Watch that Bok Choy!
A hint of lemon at the end? Chef’s kiss.
