Baby bok choy is super healthy (calcium! beta carotene! iron!), has a mild flavor, and is quicker & easier to prepare than regular, "grown-up" bok choy. Good with noodles, tofu, anything!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound baby bok choy
  • 2 T vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 t fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 T soy sauce (or wheat-free tamari)
  • 1 t fish sauce
  • sriracha or red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions
  1. Trim the bottom of the baby bok choy stalks and separate the leaves.
  2. Wash thoroughly (this is important! Baby bok choy is often sandy/dirty) and drain.
  3. Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add the oil.
  4. When oil is hot (but not smoking), add the ginger and garlic. Stir fry ~2 minutes.
  5. Add the baby bok choy, soy sauce (or tamari), and fish sauce to the pan. Stir fry ~5 minutes until bok choy greens are wilty but stalks are still a little crunchy.
  6. Add sriracha (or other hot sauce) or red pepper flakes.
  7. Eat!
  8. **Notes** This will look like a lot of baby bok choy, but it wilts and reduces in size as you cook it! ** I like the dark green and wrinkley-leafed bok choy with white stems (called white bok choy) but I'm sure the lighter green, green-stemmed bok choy (Shanghai bok choy) would work here just as well ** Add more garlic if you like it garlickier, more ginger if you want it gingerier, more soy sauce if you want it saltier or more soy-sauce-flavored, or a little more fish sauce if you want more complexity and a richer flavor.

I love this flavoring with Kale, the only difference is I use Olive Oil. Your right so so good with noodles. I'm going to rate it a 5 on good faith it tastes just as good as when you make it with Bok Choy.


Yes! this recipe works with all kinds of greens. (and olive oil -- yes! or butter! or a combination of the two!)


Nice, I combined the baby bok choy with some broccoli. The two went together well.
