3. Cook Bok Choy: Add 17 oz. bok choy and stir-saute for 2-3 minutes or until the leaves wilt.

Recipe Notes

• For added spice, increase the amount of chili oil or add red chili flakes.
• If you prefer a smoky flavor, char the bok choy slightly before adding soy sauce.
• Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari can be used as a substitute for regular soy sauce.
• Olive oil can be replaced with sesame oil for a nuttier flavor.
• Avoid overcooking bok choy to maintain its crisp texture.
• Add a dash of lime juice or rice vinegar for a tangy twist.
• Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or cashews for added crunch and flavor.
• Adjust soy sauce quantity based on the saltiness of the brand you use.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a day but expect reduced crispness.
