Bok Choy is one of my favorite vegetables. It has its own spiciness that is complimented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. I like to serve this with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a small amount of lemon zest just before serving.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Trim off the ends of the bok choy and chop, keeping the white parts separate from the green as they will need to cook longer.

Rinse and spin or pat dry.

In a small bowl or cup, stir together the vegetable oil and sesame oil.

In a separate larger bowl, stir together the water, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes.

Set this aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the bok choy stems first; stir fry for a few minutes or until the pieces start to turn a pale green.

When stems are almost cooked, add the leaves; cook and stir until leaves are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish.

Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok, and set over medium-high heat.

Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
