Stir-Fried Bok Choy Recipe

Serving size: Serves 2-3 as a side dish.


Ingredients

  • 500g (1.1 lbs) bok choy, washed and sliced lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with water (1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water)


Instructions

  1. Preparation: Wash the bok choy thoroughly and slice it lengthwise.
  2. Blanch the Bok Choy: Cook the bok choy in hot water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps the sauces absorb better.
  3. Cook the Garlic: Heat  the oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add Bok Choy: Add the blanched bok choy to the pan, stirring frequently for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.
  5. Season: Add the oyster sauce and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Pour in the cornstarch mixture and continue to stir until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the bok choy, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish or light main.

Tips for Making Stir-Fred Bok Choy

  1. Substitutes: If you don't have bok choy, you can use other leafy greens like spinach, Swiss chard(silverbeet), or even kale.
  2. Oil Options: Sesame oil adds a nice nutty flavor, but any vegetable oil will work.
  3. Make It Vegan: Substitute the oyster sauce with a vegan oyster sauce or soy sauce for a plant-based version.
  4. Add Protein: For a heartier meal, add some tofu, or shrimp.
  5. Add Mushrooms: Enhance the dish by adding mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
