Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh bok choy, washed and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons avocado or peanut oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 red chili peppers, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
1. Wash the bok choy thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut larger stalks in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
2. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
4. Add the bok choy to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently to coat with the aromatic oils.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to create the sauce.
6. Pour the sauce over the bok choy and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
