   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the bok choy is very dry to prevent steaming instead of stir-frying.

4. 4

   Add the vegetable oil to the hot pan, then add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

   Tip van de kok: Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter quickly.

5. 5

   Add the bok choy to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until it starts to wilt.
