Bok Choy Stir Fry in Rich Soy Sauce

Ingredients

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon or to taste

Salt

1/2 teaspoon or to taste

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Water

2 tablespoons

Cornstarch

1 teaspoon

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Fresh ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Bok choy

1 pound, chopped

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. This will serve as your stir fry sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3. Carefully add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until they release their fragrant aroma.
4. Next, add the chopped bok choy to the skillet. Stir fry the bok choy for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to wilt but retains a bit of crunch for texture.
5. Drizzle the prepared soy sauce mixture evenly over the bok choy. Continue to stir fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and beautifully coats every piece of bok choy.
6. Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to distribute the seasoning.
7. Remove the skillet from heat. Serve your Bok Choy Stir Fry hot as a side dish with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
