How to cook it
-
Halve or quarter the baby bok choy lengthwise, depending on size, keeping the root end intact so the leaves stay together.
-
Rinse well to remove any grit near the base.
-
Mince the garlic finely.
-
Heat the oil in a wok over high heat and fry the garlic until just fragrant and golden, about 20 seconds, taking care not to burn it.
-
Add the bok choy cut-side down and sear for 1 minute.
-
Add the water and salt, cover, and steam until the stems are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
-
Uncover, drizzle with the oyster sauce, and toss to coat evenly.
-
Serve immediately alongside rice.
