- 8-10 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
Directions
1️⃣ Prepare the Bok Choy:
Start by thoroughly washing the bok choy. Cut each stalk in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking. Once prepared, set the bok choy aside.
2️⃣ Blanch the Bok Choy:
In a large pot, bring 2-3 cups of water to a rapid boil. Add a tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Gently place the bok choy in the boiling water and blanch for 1-2 minutes. The bok choy should be tender yet still vibrant green. Transfer to a serving dish immediately after blanching.
3️⃣ Make the Garlic Sauce:
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once the oil is warm, toss in the minced garlic. Sauté briefly, stirring constantly, until the garlic releases its aroma—be careful not to burn it!
4️⃣ Add Sauce Ingredients:
Gradually whisk in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly and become a harmonious blend of flavors.
5️⃣ Serve:
Pour the prepared garlic sauce evenly over the blanched bok choy. Serve the dish hot to enjoy its full flavor. Pair it with rice or your favorite protein for a complete meal.
