stir fried bok choy with garlic soy sauce and sesame seeds in a skillet
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • 1 .5 pounds baby bok choy, halved, about 4
  • 4 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method

  1. In a large wok or skillet, heat sesame oil over medium high heat. Working in small batches, add in bok choy cut side down until lightly browned. Remove from pan and continue until all bok choy has been used.
  2. Once it’s all been browned, add all of the bok choy back to the pan along with the minced garlic and cook 2more minutes, stirring frequently. Add soy sauce, salt, red pepper flakes and water. Bring to a simmer, stirring bok choy until well-coated. Cook for another 2 minutes and remove from heat. Top with sesame seeds and more red pepper flakes before serving. Enjoy!

Note: The baby bok choy is done when the dark green leaves are wilted and light green stalks are tender, but still have a slight crunch.
