Savory Bok Choy and Green Bean Stir Fry

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)

Honey

1 tablespoon

Rice vinegar

1 tablespoon

Sesame oil

1 teaspoon

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Ginger

1 tablespoon, minced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Green beans

2 cups, trimmed

Bok choy

4 cups, chopped

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, and salt until well combined. Set the sauce aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and golden.
4. Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they start to become tender but still crisp.
5. Next, add the chopped bok choy and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes, until the bok choy wilts and the green beans are crisp-tender.
6. Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
