- 1 pound (450g) baby bok choy or regular bok choy
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as peanut or canola oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes or chili sauce (optional for added heat)

1. First, you have to prepare the bok choy. Trim the root end of the bok choy and separate the leaves.

2. If you're using regular bok choy, cut the white stalks into thin strips and chop the green leaves into bite-sized pieces.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat until it is really hot.

4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until it's fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

5. Add the bok choy to the pan. If you're using both stalks and leaves, start with the stalks and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

6. Add the green leaves of the bok choy and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they wilt and turn bright green. The bok choy should be tender-crisp.

7. Drizzle soy sauce evenly over the stir-fried bok choy. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste. Stir it until everything is well coated with the sauce.

8. If you like, you can add a teaspoon of sesame oil for extra flavor.

9. Taste the stir-fried bok choy and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional soy sauce if needed.

10. Transfer the stir-fried bok choy to a serving platter or individual plates. You can sprinkle with red pepper flakes or serve with chili sauce for an extra kick of spiciness.
