Ingredients

4 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 of a large sweet onion (diced or 1 large shallot, diced)
2 pounds of baby bok choy or regular bok choy (quartered or chopped, washed)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon (crushed red pepper {optional for spice})
5 green onions (white and green parts chopped)

Method

1
Was the bok choy and make sure to wash between the stalks to get the dirt out. In a large cast iron or regular non-stick skillet heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil over medium heat.
2
Add the garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
3
Add the baby bok choy, toasted sesame oil, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and saute for another 2 minutes. Cover and cook for another 2-4 minutes or until the bok choy is cooked to your liking.
4
Garnish with the green onion. Taste and adjust seasoning. Enjoy warm!

Notes

The amount of time the bok choy cooks depends on how you like to eat it. Some people like it soft and others like it with a bit of crunch. I like it with crunch so I cook mine about 5 to 6 minutes total. Feel free to add whatever spices you like. I think that ginger goes nicely in this dish as well as soy sauce and red chili garlic sauce for extra spice.
