Ingredients

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons corn starch
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds baby bok choy, sliced in half lengthwise
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, corn starch, and water in a bowl. Stir well and set aside. Heat oil in a wok on medium high. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add baby bok choy and stir fry until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and cook another 1 minute.
Toss in the green onions and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Buy the baby bok choy fresh and use it right away. Trader Joe’s always carries packages of baby bok choy. Or, check your local Asian market.
If you can’t find baby bok choy, you can always use regular bok choy. I like that the baby bok choy is just the right size for stir-frying in my wok.
To toast the sesame seeds: Place in a skillet on the stove over medium heat and dry toast it until light brown. Don’t overcook.
