Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 pounds baby bok choy (8 to 10), halved lengthwise and soaked in cold water to remove any dirt
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add bok choy (in two batches, if necessary), and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander; let stand at least 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.
Meanwhile, cook ginger and garlic in oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until ginger and garlic are soft, about 8 minutes. Add tamari and oyster sauce; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 30 seconds more. Pour sauce over bok choy; toss to coat.

Tips:

Choose fresh, tender bok choy. Look for heads that are deep green in color, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
Wash the bok choy thoroughly before using. Remove any wilted or damaged leaves.
Cut the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. You can cut the bok choy lengthwise or crosswise, depending on your preference.
Use a large skillet or wok to cook the bok choy. This will help to ensure that the bok choy cooks evenly.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the bok choy. This will help to prevent the bok choy from sticking to the pan.
Stir-fry the bok choy for 3-4 minutes, or until it is tender and crisp. Be careful not to overcook the bok choy, as it will become mushy.
Add garlic, ginger, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional minute, or until the garlic and ginger are fragrant.
Serve the bok choy immediately. It can be served as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Chef John's garlic and ginger bok choy is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The bok choy is cooked until tender and crisp, and the garlic, ginger, and soy sauce add a flavorful punch. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
