Bok Choy with Garlic Sauce Recipe
This Bok Choy with Garlic Sauce is a vibrant, quick side dish that elevates any meal!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and finely minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- ½ cup chicken stock or water
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 pounds baby bok choy sliced in half lengthwise
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 3 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat. The oil should shimmer, indicating it's ready for cooking.
- Add the finely minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Place the sliced bok choy in the skillet, cut side down. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften and develop a bit of color.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, light brown sugar, and chicken stock (or water). Pour this mixture over the bok choy.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the bok choy to coat it evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy is tender yet still crisp.
- Once the bok choy is cooked to your liking, remove it from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
