How to Make Baby Bok Choy In The Wok

  1. Prepare the Bok Choy: Wash and trim the ends of 1 pound of baby bok choy. Separate the leaves and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sake, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger.
  3. Stir-fry the Bok Choy: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the sauce over the bok choy and stir-fry for another minute, until the sauce has thickened and coated the vegetables.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil (Optional): Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve the baby bok choy hot as a side dish or a light and healthy main course. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional).
