Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon shallot diced
- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon garlic chili sauce 1 tablespoon for little spice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¼ cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 8 baby bok choy ends trimmed and then halved, lengthwise
- white and black sesame seeds for garnish
- 2 tablespoon scallions chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a wok (or skillet) over medium-high heat.
- Add shallot and garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
- Add the garlic chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and stock, and bring to a strong simmer. Add the bok choy, cut side down, and sauté for about 8 minutes, gently flipping over occasionally. Move the vegetables around in the wok for even cooking.
- When the cut side of the bok choy is darkened and the leaves are tender, remove it from the wok (or skillet) and carefully place it in a serving dish. Drizzle the sauce over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

- Leftovers will still be tasty, but very soft. The bok choy is best when served fresh from the wok or skillet.
