Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds bok choy
  • 2 tablespoons peanut or other oil
  • 1 (1/4-inch) piece fresh ginger, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 2 green onions (white and green parts), thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea or kosher salt

  1. Cut the bottom of each bok choy to free stems. Slice bok choy crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  2. Wash bok choy in several changes of cold water and dry in colander or salad spinner until dry to touch.
  3. In wok or large sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add ginger, green onions, and garlic and stir-fry until aromatic, about 15 seconds.
