This is a wonderful side dish for an Asian style entree. Bok choy has a wonderful, crisp texture that is reminiscent of celery. You can easily add shrimp or chicken to make a main dish, but I recommend doubling the sauce if you do so. Simple and yummy:)

Tips:
- Use fresh bok choy: Fresh bok choy has crisp stalks and dark green leaves. Avoid wilted or yellowed bok choy.
- Rinse bok choy thoroughly: Rinse bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Be sure to separate the leaves from the stalks to rinse them properly.
- Cut bok choy properly: Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Cut the stalks on a diagonal to increase the surface area for better flavor absorption.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow the bok choy to cook evenly without overcrowding.
- Heat the oil over high heat: High heat will help to sear the bok choy and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Add garlic and ginger: Garlic and ginger are classic Chinese flavors that pair well with bok choy. Add them to the hot oil and cook until fragrant.
- Add bok choy and stir-fry: Add the bok choy to the skillet or wok and stir-fry until it is tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add sauce: Add your desired sauce to the bok choy and stir to coat. You can use a simple soy sauce-based sauce or a more complex sauce with additional ingredients like oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, or rice vinegar.
- Serve immediately: Bok choy is best served immediately after cooking. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course with rice or noodles.
