Garlic accents baby bok choy in this light stir-fry.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 4 heads baby bok choy, or 1 large head bok choy, leaves separated and rinsed well
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
Preparation:

Using a chef's knife, slice the larger outer bok choy leaves crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Leave the small inner leaves whole. Set aside.

Warm the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and hot pepper flakes, and saute for 30 seconds.

Add the boy choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the leaves begin to turn bright green.

Add the soy sauce and water, and saute for 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve.
