This is the kind of fast, garlicky green vegetable you find on Chinese restaurant tables, and it takes less than ten minutes at home. A very hot wok sears the bok choy quickly so the stems stay crunchy while the leaves turn silky. A splash of Shaoxing wine and a quick cover steams the thick stems through, and a light cornstarch sauce gives everything a glossy finish. Serve it alongside any stir-fry, roast fish or a simple bowl of rice.

Instructions

  1. Trim a thin slice from the root end of each bok choy and cut the heads in half lengthwise, or into quarters if large.
