Instructions

Place the bok choy in a colander and rinse with cold water, removing any grit from between the leaves and at the base of the stems. Pat dry with a kitchen towel and cut each bok choy in half lengthwise.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir-fry the garlic slices and dried chilies for about 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the bok choy in a single layer, cut-side down, and cook until the bottoms start to brown, about 2 minutes.
Flip the bok choy over and cook until the stalks begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the soy sauce to the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute.
Transfer to a platter and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cleanliness is next to godliness! Wash the bok choy thoroughly under cold water, paying strict attention to the base where dirt can easily get trapped.
The heat of the chilis resides in the seeds. How many seeds you should include depends on how spicy you want the dish to be.
The sesame oil is non-negotiable! It infuses the dish with a beautiful flavor and aroma that olive or vegetable oil simply cannot match.
Pay attention to the heat. This recipe calls for medium-high heat initially and then reducing to medium-low. Controlling the heat allows the bok choy to cook evenly without burning.
The bok choy should retain a slight crunch. Keep an eye on your timer, and resist the urge to overcook.
