This bok choy recipe is a basic stir-fry that can be served as-is, or you can add meat or tofu to make it more substantial. It's one of my favorite ways to load up on leafy greens quickly and easily. Serve with fluffy white rice or over noodles in soup. The amount of raw bok choy may look too much, but it will cook down.

Tips

Each head of baby bok choy is roughly the diameter of a can of soda.

You can use regular bok choy instead of baby bok choy, although I prefer the sweeter and more delicate flavor of baby bok choy. Feel free to add soy sauce or oyster sauce to the finished product if you want a more robust flavor, but I like to let the simple, delicious taste of bok choy shine through.
