Quick Fry Bok Choy
Description
After washing, the bok choy is blanched in boiling water for two minutes to soften slightly while maintaining texture and color. The stir-fry sauce made from oyster sauce, cornstarch, soy sauce, and water provides savory umami and helps lightly thicken the sauce to coat the vegetables. Garlic and optional dried chili peppers are fried first to infuse the oil with flavor before adding the bok choy and sauce for a quick stir-fry. The brief cooking preserves the vegetable’s crisp tenderness.
This vegetable side is suitable to serve alongside rice and a protein for a balanced meal or can be part of a vegetable-centric dinner. It’s a straightforward way to prepare bok choy with characteristic savory, slightly spicy notes and a glossy finish from the sauce.
