Chinese Garlic Bok Choy Delicious, seasoned bok choy with a wonderful Asian flavour profile. A great side dish to have with any meal.
I love Bok Choy but when it's seasoned with garlic, dry sherry, some pepper flakes and soy sauce, it takes these veggies to a whole new level! And that's why I truly love this Chinese Garlic Bok Choy recipe!

My Chinese garlic baby bok choy recipe is a very simple and easy dish to make at home. I know a lot of people get intimidated when it comes to cooking Asian veggies but honestly, we use the same ingredients to cook them every single time! So once you get it right the first time, you're pretty much set.
That goes the same for your pantry. You really just need soy sauce, garlic, oil, soy sauce and sesame oil to season those Asian Veggies. This works for Yu Choy, Gai-Lan and so many more leafy greens.

Christie's recipe for Bok Choy is absolutely the best I have ever had. This was the first time I had ever made bok choy that wasn't super bitter and it was SO easy! The flavor of it is delicious and it went really well with her sweet and sour chicken recipe!
Thank you so much for making my Bok Choy Cam! Happy to hear you enjoyed it and it was easy to make! It's one of my favourite veggie recipes.
OHHHEMMMMGEEEEEEE! I am literally obsessed with bok choy and buy tons of it every week at our farmers market. I usually stir fry it or add it ramen but THIS just takes it to a whole new level. The flavor profile is amazing! Can't wait to try! 🙂
Thanks so much Sherri! One of my favourite ways to cook it! Glad I could share it with you!
