Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby bok choy
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup water
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt (Remember add salt to your taste)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut 1.5 pounds of baby bok choy into half.
  2. Then, soak them for at least 15 minutes. Wash and rinse a few times (3 times). 
  3. While soaking the baby bok choy, mince 4 cloves of garlic. 
  4. When the pak choi is clean, pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a non-stick pan. Turn on medium fire, add minced garlic. Stir fry the garlic a little bit. 
  5. After that, add the washed baby bok choy into the non-stick pan. Pour ½ cup of water and ⅛ teaspoon of salt (Add salt to your taste) into the vegetable. Cover the lid for a couple minutes.

Notes

  • Soaking baby bok choy for at least 15 minutes and rinsing multiple times removes sand and grit effectively.
  • Cutting bok choy in half helps cooking evenly and speeds preparation.
  • Covering the pan traps steam to soften bok choy without overcooking or drying out.
  • Adjust salt quantity based on personal taste preferences.
