Bok choy is a great vegetable for many reasons; it's cheap, it takes about 3 minutes to cook, it has a beautiful subtle sweet flavor, and of course it's packed with nutritional goodness.
Good base but found it a bit bland. Added hoisin sauce to the finished dish to liven it up.

I love Bok Choy. I would leave out the soy sauce if I make it again. I thought it just made it too salty without any flavor boost. Maybe replace it with rice wine vinegar?
So delicious and great for a quick, healthy side dish! I wasn't feeling the red bell pepper tonight so I used Cremini mushrooms instead, cooking them an additional 4 or 5 minutes before adding the white bok choy stalks. I also had a skillet of fond left over from making some pork tenderloin, so I cooked this in that pan for additional flavor! Worked beautifully.
The best bok choy recipe we've tried. We received one large head of bok choy in our weekly CSA box and kept the remaining ingredients as the recipe original calls. Perfect!
Fantastic dish! The only variation I did was sub with a yellow pepper because I didn't have a red one. I know all peppers have different tastes, but this one worked too. YES, I will be making this again and again! Thanks for posting the video.
I like green leafy vegetables in general. My only problem with bok choy is that it does not have much flavour to it. So the garlic, ginger and pepper flakes add just the right zing to boring bok choy. Good idea about separating the leaves from the stem. I also like the way the stems are cut in an angle. When cutting, as much as possible make them the same size for even cooking. For a twist, while sauteing the stems I placed about a tablespoon of rice wine just enough to steam the stems a bit. Also, choose a japanese light soy so it would not be too salty.

Delicious thank you for sharing the recipe next time i am adding water chestnuts!!!
I'd suggest using oyster sauce instead if soy sauce without using salt, adjust then if necessary. Cooking bok choy and any greens are healthy.
This was a solid recipe, I thought the comments about it being bland are off since the ginger really came through. I would cut the red pepper into the same size as the Bok Choy next time around and I though that the veggies needed to be could at least double what the recipe called for. Thanks Chef John!
I've made a bunch of Chef John's recipes and love them so I was hopeful about this one, but it didn't do it for me. I found it way too salty and a bit one-note.
This quick and simple recipe is a very good accompaniment to any Asian meal. #AllrecipesAllstarsCanada #lunarnewyear
Simple, fast and tasty. Few ingredients but was distinctive enough to break out of the "whatever's green as a side" syndrome. Not sure where the "bland" comments are about - if you are worried about that up the ginger, garlic and/or pepper flakes but for us it was very flavorful as described. Definitely in the rotation! Chef John is a treasure - I watch some of his videos I know I will never make just because he always makes me laugh.
Another great recipe from chef John. My only addition was a slivered vidalia onion.
This is my first time eating bok choy. I don't like the stalks but the greens portion is good. I didn't have sesame oil. I think that would added more flavor to it.
This was excellent! I just used a one head of large bok choy from my garden. It paired perfectly with an Asian glazed chicken!
A nice vegetable side dish to compiment asian meals. Really enjoyed it! And now there is another vegetable dish I will eat, thanks to the creative chefs on All-Recipes.com
really good tasting, I did't have the red pepper, added three scallions from the garden. Easy and quick, a winner!

Healthy, easy, cheap and tastes great. I bit spicy and sauce when well with meat ( chicken) added.
Very good. I like the simplicity and subtle flavours. Allows one to really enjoy the greens as they should be enjoyed.
Certainly easy to make. It was very bland. I would like to try it with some shrimp or chicken/beef.
Really easy recipe to follow. Great taste and healthy side my kids love.
It was great. I added cashews and booked beef stake. It was great! Thanks Cheif John.
