  • Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly before cooking. Remove any dirt or grit from the leaves.
  • Cut the baby bok choy into 1-inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to stir-fry the baby bok choy. This will give them room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the baby bok choy. This will help them sear and caramelize.
  • Stir-fry the baby bok choy for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned. Do not overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Add the sesame seeds and soy sauce to the baby bok choy and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
