Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the baby bok choy by removing any undesirable leaves and trimming away the excess root on the bok choy. Then, cut the bok choy in half, lengthwise. Wash and rinse the baby bok choy well to get rid of any dirt.

Step 3

Blanche the bok choy by placing them in the boiling water. Cook briefly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the leaves are dark green and the stems are just cooked. Drain and set aside. If you prefer your bok choy more tender, cook it for a little longer.

Step 4

In a pan or work over medium heat, add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir fry until golden brown and fragrant. Add the blanched bok choy, salt, and chicken bouillon powder. Stir fry and toss for about 30 seconds to distribute the seasonings.

Step 5

Transfer to a serving plate and top with some chili oil if you wish. Enjoy!
