A classic way to stir fry any leaf vegetables in China. You can use this method to cook u choy sum, lettuce, water spinach, and Taiwan Cabbage. My American husband always say the stir-fried lettuce is the best lettuce in the world.

Ingredients

16-19oz Bok Choy
1/3 cup Peanut Oil or Olive Oil(Not Extra Virgin Kind)
2 cloves Peeled Garlic
5-7 pcs Sichuan Pepper Corn
1 pc Dry Red Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt

Serving: 2 People

Instructions:

Step 1

Cut off the bottom of bok choy. Rinse the bok choy.

Step 2

Smash the garlic and break the red pepper to pieces. Heat the oil at medium high heat. Add garlic, pepper corn and red pepper. Wait till the oil start to bubble around the spices.

Step 3

Add bok choy to the wok. Stir to make sure the bok choy doesn’t get burnt on the bottom of the wok. Add salt and keep stir. Cook till the white stem of bok choy gets tender. Enjoy.
