Bok choy, a type of Chinese cabbage, is the star of this dish, complemented by fresh vegetables and a savory sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb bok choy
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snow peas
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Rinse the bok choy thoroughly and trim off the ends. Separate the leaves and stalks, as they will cook at different rates. Slice the stalks into 1-inch pieces and roughly chop the leaves.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the bok choy stalks, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the bok choy leaves and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Cook for another minute until the sauce is heated through and the vegetables are coated in the flavorful sauce.
  7. Remove from heat and serve the bok choy stir-fry as a side dish or add protein such as tofu or chicken for a complete meal.
  8. Enjoy!
