Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 baby bok choy sliced in half
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the ginger and garlic. Heat the avocado oil in a wok or sauté pan on medium. Add the minced ginger and minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir-fry the bok choy. Add the bok choy and use tongs to turn and stir-fry the bok choy in the garlic and ginger for 2 minutes.
  3. Steam the bok choy. Pour two tablespoons of water into the pan, cover, and let it cook for 2 minutes more.
  4. Serve. Turn off the heat, add salt and pepper, and serve. 

Notes

  • It's much easier to turn and stir fry the bok choy with tongs rather than a spatula. My favorite tongs are these ones. 
  • Although this is best served fresh, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
