Garlic Baby Bok Choy

Ingredients

• baby bok choy — 300 g (about 6 small)
• garlic — 4 cloves, minced
• cooking oil — 1.5 tbsp
• salt — 1/2 tsp
• oyster sauce — 1 tbsp (optional)

Steps (beginner-friendly)

1. Rinse the bok choy under cold running water 3 times, then cut each one in half lengthwise.
2. Peel and mince 4 garlic cloves (chop as finely as you can).
3. Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
4. Add the minced garlic and stir for 15-20 seconds until fragrant but NOT browned.
5. Add the bok choy all at once and stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes, tossing constantly.
6. The bok choy is ready when the stems look bright green and slightly translucent but still crisp.
7. Add 1/2 tsp salt (and 1 tbsp oyster sauce if using), toss for 20 more seconds, and plate immediately.
