Perfect for a quick, healthy dinner that captures the essence of traditional Chinese cooking.

1

Start by washing the bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean towel.

2

Slice the bok choy in half lengthwise. Set aside.

3

Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger. Set both aside.

4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

5

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to prevent burning. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6

Immediately add the sliced bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 to 4 minutes until the greens begin to wilt but are still bright in color.

7

Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the salt and pepper. Continue stir-frying for another 1 to 2 minutes until the bok choy is tender but has a slight crunch.

8

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the stir-fry for added flavor. Stir to combine.

9

Remove from heat and serve immediately.
