Stir-Fried Baby Bok Choy


This is another easy stir-fried baby bok choy recipe.  Instead of par-boil it in water, I sometimes stir-fry it because I think it's easier and faster this way.  I just learned that this veggie is good for the eyes just like carrot.  So, for picky eater kids who don't like carrot, you can use this as a substitute.  And because it is like carrot, it is also better to stir-fry it in a little oil to bring out the nutrients.  How interesting eh!





Ingredients:

  • Baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise and rinse and wash in running water
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. Chinese white rice wine
  • 1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. chicken granules (optional)
  • Cooking oil of your choice

Method:

1.  In a heated wok, add in cooking oil of your choice, about 2 Tbsp.  Add in garlic and fry until fragrant and slightly brown.

2.  Quickly add the baby bok choy, stir-fry well.  Add the Chinese rice wine and salt.  Stir-well.

3.  Add chicken granules if used.  Stir-fry well and serve hot.
