This 6-ingredient bok choy with oyster sauce only takes 15 minutes to put together and is on my weekly dinner rotation. Ginger and oyster sauce pair perfectly to bring out the natural sweetness of the baby bok choy, adding a touch of umami. It\u2019s an easy and satisfying side dish that adds color and nutrition to your meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bok choy with oyster sauce is one of those everyday dishes I grew up eating at home, the kind that quietly anchors a Chinese meal without calling attention to itself. It\u2019s quick and simple for weeknight cooking, often put together while a soup simmers on the stove and a pre-made meat dish reheats in the steamer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy cooking with baby bok choy because it is fast to cook and has a nice crisp-tender texture. In the past I shared recipes for baby bok choy with mushrooms<\/a> and garlicky baby bok choy stir fry<\/a>, which I cook very frequently. Today I want to share another version – this version blooms ginger and dried chili pepper in hot oil, creating a smoky and fragrant base. It\u2019s then cooked with oyster sauce and a touch of soy sauce and sugar, creating a quick sauce that is savory and mildly sweet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to treat the stems and leaves differently. By searing the white part first over high heat, you develop flavor and keep it juicy, then by finishing the greens just long enough to wilt preserves their fresh taste and vibrant color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
