Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Incorporate the chopped bok choy into the skillet, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until it wilts but retains its bright green color.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the bok choy, stirring to coat evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavor the vegetables.

- Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before enjoying.
Tips
- For added protein, consider adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp to the stir fry. Make sure to cook the protein first and then add the bok choy and sauce.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables in this stir fry. Bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas would also pair beautifully with bok choy.
