Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 oz baby bok choy
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup baby shrimp peeled and cleaned
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by cleaning and rinsing the baby bok choy under cold water. Slice the bok choy in half lengthwise if they are larger. Finely chop the garlic cloves and set aside.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to shimmer slightly before adding the garlic.
  3. Add the finely chopped garlic to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter quickly.
  4. Next, toss in the 1/4 cup of baby shrimp. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
  5. Add the cleaned and rinsed baby bok choy to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the bok choy is tender but still crisp.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Once everything is perfectly cooked, remove from heat.

Notes

  • Wash and chop bok choy a day in advance for easy meal prep.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
