  2. Thinly slice the gai choy stems lengthwise. Coarsely chop the leaves.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil, sliced onions, and minced garlic.
  4. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in sugar and fish sauce, cooking for another 30 seconds until slightly caramelized.
  6. Add the gai choy stems to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. Add the chopped gai choy leaves. Stir-fry for 1 minute, or until wilted but still vibrant green. Do not overcook.
  8. Serve immediately as a side dish or with your favorite protein for a complete meal. Enjoy!
