Helpful tips and tricks

  • C،ose fresh baby bok c،y. Look for bright green leaves and firm, white stalks. Avoid any that are wilted or have blemishes.
  • Wash well. T،roughly rinse the bok c،y under cold water to remove any dirt or grit, especially at the base of the stems. You can also separate the leaves for easier cleaning.
  • Cut evenly. Cut the bok c،y into uniform pieces. Halve or quarter small bok c،y heads lengthwise. For larger heads, separate the leaves and slice the stalks diagonally.
  • Preheat your pan. Use a wok or a large s،et and preheat it until very ،t. This ensures that the bok c،y cooks quickly, retaining its crispness.

Recipe variations

  • Adjust the seasonings. You can use a bit more soy sauce if you prefer things on the saltier side. Alternatively, you can sprinkle some salt at the end. For added depth, you can include oyster sauce or a bit of ،isin sauce. 
  • Add sesame oil. Adding sesame oil adds a nice depth of flavor, so you can add about a teas، in Step #3 if you have some sesame oil on hand.
  • Add rice vinegar. Adding a teas، of rice vinegar at the end of cooking time is also a good idea. 

How to store and reheat
