Description
Sautéing bok choy in a flavorful oyster sauce creates a remarkable dish that is quick to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds bok choy
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 4 cloves)
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- ¾ cup water
- 5 tablespoons oyster sauce (for finishing)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
- Introduce the bok choy into the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to wilt.
- Pour in the ¾ cup of water and add the 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, along with the ¼ teaspoon of sugar if using. Stir until well combined.
- For a thinner sauce, let it simmer until the bok choy is tender but still bright green. For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry, then pour it into the skillet and mix well, allowing it to thicken up for an additional minute.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use fresh bok choy and avoid overcooking to maintain its crunch.
