Quick, simple and flavorful Bok Choy Stir-Fry recipe with detailed step-wise pictures. Stir-fried Bok Choy with Garlic and Onions, perfect side dish that gets done in a jiffy!

It has been a while I made my most favorite Indo-Chinese fare. Every Sunday, we end up making one or the other kind of Biriyani and when we are bored of it, we end up making some fried rice or noodles. Recently, I got lucky on an online store and got a bunch of fresh Bok Choy delivered at home. Some of it went into making Thai Style Noodles and the next day, I ended up serving this simple Bok Choy Stir-Fry on the side of Vegetable Fried Rice. Did I tell you guys that I love greens?! Even as a kid, I would bug amma for Keerai and that has only grown exponentially in the last few years. Bok Chok however is a recent love, especially after trying it for the first time at a restaurant and it even made me replicate Mamak Mee Goreng at home.

As I had a couple of bunches of fresh Bok Choy, I didn’t want them to wilt in the fridge and the fastest way to use them was to quickly stir-fry them. I used the very basic spices and ingredients to flavor the Bok Choy Stir-Fry. Obviously, it has to have a lot of garlic and I also added a good portion of chopped onions. Flash cooked for about 5 mins on medium flame, I drizzled the bok choy with a dash of soy sauce, red chilli flakes and salt. I finally topped it off with toasted sesame seeds. As I used large bok choy, I cut them into large chunks and yes, they require a thorough cleaning. I have never had a chance to try baby bok choy, but I can imagine how good the flavors would be, to stir-fry halved baby bok choy with lots of garlic!

When we think of Indo-Chinese, we think of Gobi Manchurian, Chilli Baby Corn and everything deep-fried. It need not necessary to be calorie-rich and you can still make delicious meal while keeping them low calorie. I made Mushroom Manchurian in my oven and finished it on the stove. This Bok Choy Stir-fry is a low calorie side dish, that comes together in less than 10 mins excluding the cleaning & chopping. It is guilt-free and at the same time, too delicious. Serve it along side Fried Rice or Noodles!
