Ingredients
  

  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • ½ cup chicken stock or water
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 pounds baby bok choy sliced in half lengthwise

Equipment

  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large skillet or wok
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Start by washing the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Slice each bok choy in half lengthwise, keeping the base intact to hold the leaves together.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, light brown sugar, and chicken stock (or water). Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and set it aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot, shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Add the halved bok choy to the skillet, cut side down. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the leaves start to wilt and the bottoms are slightly browned.
  5. Pour the prepared garlic sauce over the bok choy, making sure to coat it evenly. Reduce the heat to medium and let the bok choy simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
  6. Once the bok choy is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat. Transfer the bok choy to a serving platter, spooning any remaining sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy this scrumptious Bok Choy with Garlic Sauce Recipe alongside your favorite main dish.

Notes

  • Allow leftovers to cool to room temperature before storing.
  • Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Gently reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or chicken stock to bring back moisture.
