Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add bok choy leaves in a single layer. Don't stir — let them sear undisturbed for 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Toss bok choy and cook another 2 minutes until edges are caramelized and leaves start to wilt.

  4. Step 4

    Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Add soy sauce, butter, and sesame oil, tossing until the glaze coats every leaf.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the bok choy is still hot and glossy.

Tools you’ll need
