Stir-Fried Bok Choy

Ingredients

• 2 lb baby bok choy, halved or quartered
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large shallots, minced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat.
2. Add garlic and shallots; sauté, stirring constantly, 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add bok choy, soy sauce, and sesame oil; toss to coat, then cover.
4. Steam 1–2 minutes, uncover and toss, then re-cover and cook 3–5 more minutes until tender.
5. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using and serve immediately.

Notes

• Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in a hot skillet.
• Substitution: Regular bok choy works — quarter the heads and add 1–2 minutes to cook time.
