- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Black bean sauce

Instructions
- Begin by preparing your cooked rice according to package directions and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet; sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the chopped bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to wilt slightly while retaining its vibrant green color.
- In a small bowl, combine the black bean sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a flavorful sauce.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the bok choy in the skillet, tossing to ensure even coating. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the bok choy is tender yet crisp.
- Serve the stir fry over a bed of cooked rice and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
Tips
- For added protein, consider adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp to the stir fry. Cook them before adding the garlic and ginger.
- Feel free to mix in other vegetables such as bell peppers or snap peas for more color and flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a splash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
