PAN STEAMED TOFU AND BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Turn on the burner to low-medium heat.
• When it's hot, pour in the oil(s) and garlic.

• After a minute or two, flip the tofu slices and put all of the bok choy in the pan. Cover again.
• After about 3 minutes, use chopsticks (or a big spoon) to stir the bok choy so that it picks up some soy sauce.
• Cover pan and cook for a few more minutes.
• The dish is ready when the bok choy is wilted.
