Garlic bok choy - Hong Kong style

Sometimes simple is the way to go. With this overly simple, absolutely stunning recipe, you’ll never have bok choy any other way!


Prep:

  • Prep time: 5 mins

  • Cook time: 8-10 mins

Ingredients:

  • 2 heads of bok-choy

  • 4 tbsp oyster sauce - you can use mushroom “oyster style” sauce as a veggie or vegan subsititute

  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy

  • 4 cloves sliced garlic

  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon

  • 1 tbsp oil

  • black pepper to taste

Recipe:

Steam or blanch bok-choy for no more than 5 mins in hot water. Strain and set aside.

Heat oil in a saucepan on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté until it’s golden brown, add the rest of the ingredients, and keep stirring for 2 minutes so that it does not stick to the pan and burn. The sauce should start to thicken because of the sugar in the oyster sauce. Once you get a gravy-like consistency remove the pan from the heat.

Arrange the bok choy horizontally on a serving plate and pour the sauce over it.

Best Serve with fluffy jasmine rice and other condiments or serve by itself.
