Notes
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb Bok Choy (or baby bok choy as a substitute)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian stir-fry sauce)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp unsweetened rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch (or potato starch)
- ¾ tsp granulated sugar
- ½ cup cold water
Instructions:
- Slice your bok choy in half if it’s 6-7 inches long. For baby bok choy, slicing is also recommended to make it easier to clean.
- Wash the bok choy thoroughly between the leaves to remove any dirt. Rinse until the water runs clear.
- In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- In a large pan or wok, bring enough water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the bok choy and blanch for about 30-45 seconds until the leaves turn vibrant green. Quickly strain and set aside on a serving plate.
- In the same pan, wipe it dry and bring it to medium heat. Pour in the prepared sauce and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Once the sauce has thickened, pour it over the bok choy. Serve and enjoy!
