This is a healthy Chinese inspired side dish with lots of flavor. Serve with rice and enjoy.
2 T. Canola oil
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 t. ginger, freshly grated (from 1/2 inch piece)
1 1/2 lb. Bok Choy (about 2 medium bunches), cleaned, ends trimmed, cut on the bias into 1 inch pieces
1 T. soy sauce, less sodium
1 T. water
Salt -optional
In a large frying pan with a tight lid, heat oil over medium-high heat until simmering. Add garlic and ginger, cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds.
Add Bok Choy and, using tongs, fold into the garlic-ginger mixture until coated, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce and water, cover, and cook until steam accumulates, about 1 minute. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are just wilted, the stalks are just fork tender but still crisp, and most of the water has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat, and season with salt if desired.
