Ingredients

1 lb baby bok choy
1 Tb oil
2 ea garlic cloves
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp chicken or vegetable bouillon concentrate such as Better than Bouillion
1 pinch sugar

Instructions

Cut off the root end of the bok choy and wash. Spin dry, if you have time.
Heat pan and oil to medium heat. Add garlic and swish for 15-30 seconds until fragrant.
Add bok choy, chicken bouillon, salt, and sugar. Increase heat to medium high and stir fry bok choy for 3-5 minutes until tender.
Mix cornstarch with water. Add to pan and cook 1-2 minutes until cornstarch has thickened the juices.

Notes

Spin dry the bok choy if you don't want it to be so watery and have more a wok seared flavor.
Try this recipe with any number of Asian greens: yu choy, gailan, or pea shoots.
You don't have to use the chicken bouillon if you don't want to, but don't forget the garlic.
To make this vegan, use vegetable bouillon concentrate instead of chicken.
