This soy and sesame-flavoured bok choi makes a great accompaniment to any Asian-inspired dish. Try serving with honey and soy glazed trout
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ¼ tsp honey
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 8 heads bok choi, trimmed and quartered
- 1 tsp red chilli flakes
- few drops sesame oil
Method
Whisk the soy sauce, honey and 2 tbsp water together in a small bowl, making sure the honey dissolves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over a high heat. When the air above it is shimmering, add the garlic and stir-fry for just 20 seconds, until it smells aromatic. Add the bok choi and stir-fry very briskly for 1 minute, making sure the garlic combines with the bok choi. Pour the honey and soy mixture in and add the chilli flakes.
Continue to stir-fry until the leaves of the bok choi have wilted – the stems will still be quite crisp but glossy and succulent. Drizzle with the sesame oil and serve immediately.
