Ingredients
- 2 T water
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 T oyster sauce
- 1 T vegetable oil
- 2 heads head Bok Choy, ends trimmed and cut crosswise into strips and washed if needed
- 1/2 tsp. salt, optional
- 1 T butter
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish, optional but recommended
Directions
Stir together the water, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce, then keep that mixture nearby. Warm a wok or sturdy frying pan until it is extremely hot, about 1-2 minutes, then pour in the oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds more. Add the bok choy and salt, and toss everything in the pan for 2 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce mixture, add the butter, and continue stir-frying for 1-2 minutes, just until the bok choy is becoming tender but still has a little snap. Serve it right away, with toasted sesame seeds scattered over the top if you like.
