Tips:
- Select fresh vegetables: Choose bok choy and radishes that are crisp and have vibrant colors. Avoid any wilted or bruised vegetables.
- Wash and prepare vegetables properly: Rinse bok choy and radishes thoroughly under running water. Trim the ends of the bok choy and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Cut radishes into thin slices or matchsticks.
- Use high-quality oil: Opt for a neutral-flavored oil like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil for stir-frying. These oils can withstand high temperatures without burning.
- Control the heat: Maintain a high and consistent heat throughout the stir-frying process. This will help the vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add sauces and seasonings gradually: Start with a small amount of sauce or seasonings, and adjust according to your taste preference. Over-seasoning can easily overpower the delicate flavors of the vegetables.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fried bok choy and radishes are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Serve them immediately with rice, noodles, or as a side dish.

In conclusion, stir-frying bok choy and radishes is a quick and healthy way to prepare these nutritious vegetables. With its vibrant colors, crisp texture, and delicious flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit. Experiment with different sauces and seasonings to create a stir-fry that suits your palate. Enjoy this versatile dish as a main course, side dish, or part of a larger meal. Happy cooking!
