Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tsp grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 10 oz peeled and deveined large shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on one side until pink and slightly opaque.
  3. Step 3: Flip the shrimp and add 2 heads baby bok choy halved lengthwise. Stir fry together for 3-4 minutes until bok choy is bright green and slightly tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes. Cook for 1 more minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp and bok choy.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving hot.
