Step 1

Cut off the thick root end of the bok choy. Separate the leaves. Remove any outer leaves that are discolored or wilted. Wash and dry the bok choy. Cut the bok choy into quarters and separate them into pieces.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the olive oil, salt, and bok choy to the hot skillet.

Step 5

Stir to coat the bok choy. Then cook it undisturbed for 1 minute.

Step 6

Stir and cook for another minute undisturbed.

Step 7

Add in the minced garlic. Stir. Then cover the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the lid and check to see if the bok choy has reached its desired level of doneness. It should start to char slightly on the edges and have softened.
