Baby Bok Choy Stir Fry

1 lb baby bok choy
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
2 Tbsp. turmeric, shredded
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. peanut oil
1/8 C. soy sauce
1 tsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds

Stir together soy sauce and cornstarch until cornstarch has dissolved. Heat a wok (or large fry pan) over medium-high heat. Pour in peanut oil and then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat bottom. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 2 minutes. Add in turmeric and sauté for 2 minutes. Add half of baby bok choy and stir-fry until leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes, then add remaining baby bok choy and stir-fry until all leaves are bright green and limp, 3 to 4 minutes total. Stir in soy sauce mixture, then sauté for 1 minute. Cover with lid and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

I love my baby bok choy and try to get it every week at my local farmers market. I love stir frying it but never thought of adding turmeric which I definitely will have to try. I think I may need a stronger magnifying glass however trying to to shred my groundTurmeric.

I've never had Bok Choy. It's that thing that looks like a green onion on steroids isn't it?

It's a form of CABBAGE, not an onion, and very mild and flavorful, especially the baby bok choy. I love taking some low-sodium broth, heating it up and tossing in some chopped baby bok choy. Nothing else really needed.

I will have to try that. Is that chicken or beef broth? I never thought it was an onion just kinda looked like a really big one.

I think chicken, beef or vegetable broth would work just fine.
