Bok choy is the perfect vegetable for a quick, healthy side dish. Garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes add delicious flavour to this cabbage relative.
Prepare the bok choy by slicing it into 1-inch pieces, cut diagonally across the stem.
In a large frying pan with a tight fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and saute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds.
Add the bok choy and fold it into the garlic-ginger mixture until coated, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos instead if you want a gluten free option) and water. Cover and cook about 1 minute.
