Step 1

Step 1: Chop the bok choy

Step 2

Start by trimming off and discarding the root stem. Then, remove the green leaves from the stalks, chopping the stalks into 1/2-inch pieces and the leaves into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Test Kitchen tip: Since baby bok choy is nice and tender, you can remove the root stem and cook the leaves whole. Or, for a meatier texture, leave the stem intact and halve the bok choy lengthwise.

Step 4

Step 2: Cook the stems with garlic

Step 5

Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil or butter and add the chopped stalks along with a minced garlic clove and a pinch of chili flakes (if you like). Cook for about 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the stems are lightly softened.

Step 6

If you’re using baby bok choy, you can just cook the garlic in this step.

Step 7

Step 3: Wilt the greens

Step 8

Add the greens and a splash of soy sauce or water. Cook for another 2 minutes, covered, until the greens are wilted. If you’re using baby bok choy, the dish is finished if the stems are tender when pierced with a fork.
