Note
WASH & TRIM
Be sure to wash and trim your bok choy, especially if the larger variety. You want the pieces to be bite size and not too big.
CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOUR GARLIC
The garlic only needs to be fried for a FEW SECONDS to get color, so be careful not to burn the garlic over too high heat.
PREMIX YOUR SAUCE
The cooking process for the sauce is FAST so it’s a great idea to premix your sauce together, then add it straight into the pan! The corn starch will help thicken the sauce into that velvety texture that Chinese restaurants made so famous.
OTHER VEGETABLES
You can also use other vegetables like choy sum, broccoli, gai lan, water spinach or any thing that you like!
