• 6-8 baby bok choi (or bok choy) (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 3 cloves garlic , chopped
• 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sugar or alternative
• 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bok choi by washing it well and chopping it into bite-sized pieces. Splash a little of the water into a wok or deep skillet, heat, and throw in the garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 3 minutes and then add the bok choi and the remaining water and stir. Cover and cook until the bok choi is bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-6 minutes.
