Quick Fry Bok Choy
This quick fry bok choy recipe features blanched bok choy quickly stir-fried with garlic and optional dried chili pepper. The bok choy is briefly boiled then drained to retain crispness before stir frying in oil with fragrant garlic slices and a simple oyster sauce-based stir-fry sauce that includes cornstarch, water, and soy sauce for light seasoning and glaze. The dish offers tender stalks with bright green leaves and a savory, mildly spicy finish.
