This is exactly how my mom makes it! So simple but so delicious. The key is really hot oil and lots of garlic. I add a splash of shaoxing wine too. We have this with almost every dinner - healthy and quick!
I used to hate vegetables until I learned to cook them properly! This recipe is incredible - the garlic and sesame oil make all the difference. Now I eat bok choy several times a week.
Great basic recipe! I added some chili flakes for heat and mushroom sauce for extra umami. The trick is really not to overcook - you want that nice crunch in the stems.
