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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the bok choy leaves and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
- 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.
- Cook for another minute until the sauce is heated through and the vegetables are coated in the flavorful sauce.
- 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.
- Enjoy!
