Ingredients- 1 pack Bok Choy (washed thoroughly)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make Baek Jong-Won’s style oyster sauce bok choy stir-fry. It’s incredibly simple but delivers amazing flavor!
Step 2
First, we’ll briefly blanch the bok choy in boiling water. Add the bok choy and cook for about 30 seconds, then flip it and cook for another 30 seconds. This method helps retain the bok choy’s crisp texture while making it tender.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the sauce, the heart of this stir-fry. You can achieve a deep, Chinese-inspired flavor without needing exotic ingredients. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Mix well. Pour the sauce into a heated pan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Then, gradually add the cornstarch slurry (2 Tbsp) while stirring to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Finally, add the chopped scallions and cook for a moment until the sauce becomes nicely viscous. Your delicious sauce is ready!
Step 4
Add the blanched bok choy to the sauce and toss quickly to coat. Voilà! Your crisp and savory oyster sauce bok choy stir-fry is complete. It’s perfect served over warm rice or as a delightful side dish with any main course.
