Bok Choy and Hoisin Sauce Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Bok choy (4 cups, chopped)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Hoisin sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
• Rice vinegar (1 tablespoon)
• Red pepper flakes (1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste))
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon (to taste))
• Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
• Toasted sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))
• Cooked rice (4 cups (for serving))

Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
3. Incorporate the chopped bok choy into the skillet, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until it wilts but retains its bright green color.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt until well combined.
5. 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.
6. Remove from heat and serve the bok choy stir fry over a generous scoop of cooked rice.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before enjoying.
