Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by prepping your ingredients for the Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Ground Meat. Mince the garlic and ginger, and finely chop half an onion. Rinse the bok choy and separate the stems from the leaves.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped onion to the hot oil, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until onions become translucent.
  4. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up and cooking for 5–7 minutes until browned.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (if using), 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Add chopped bok choy stems to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in ¼ cup of broth and cover to steam for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Uncover and toss in the bok choy leaves, cooking for about 1 minute until wilted yet vibrant.
  8. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or quinoa. Garnish with red pepper flakes or sesame seeds if desired.
