Scale recipe by: ×
2 lbs bok choy
3 Tbsp canola oil
1/4 tsp freshly grated ginger (optional)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp MSG (totally optional)
2 Tbsp hot chicken stock (optional)
Slice bok choy at a slight angle into 1-inch pieces.
Heat your wok or large pan over low heat and add the oil. Immediately add the ginger first and then the garlic. Add the veggies and turn the heat up to the highest setting. Stir-fry using a scooping motion so the ginger, garlic and oil are evenly distributed among the vegetables. This first 30 seconds is a critical time not to let your aromatics burn and to cook your veggies evenly.
Next, add salt, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper, and the MSG and hot chicken stock if using. (Using hot chicken stock is important to maintaining the temperature of the wok). Stir fry uncovered for another 1-2 minutes.
