Chinese · Side dish · 15 min total

A quick and aromatic Chinese-style stir-fry featuring tender greens and plenty of garlic, perfect as a simple side dish or a light main over rice.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) leafy greens (bok choy, spinach, or Chinese broccoli), washed and trimmed
• 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add oil and swirl to coat.
2. Add garlic slices and stir-fry for 15 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add the greens and toss quickly to coat with oil. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
4. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, salt, white pepper, and water. Pour over the greens.
5. Continue stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes until greens are wilted but still crisp. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For best results, use a wok and high heat to achieve the characteristic 'wok hei' flavor.
• Substitute greens: use any tender leafy vegetable like baby kale, chard, or tatsoi.
• Add protein: toss in sliced chicken, beef, or tofu before adding greens for a complete meal.
• Storage: best served fresh; leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day and reheated quickly.
