Ingredients
- 4 cups bok choy, chopped
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (verify GF)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the bok choy by thoroughly washing the chopped leaves and stems. Ensure all grit is removed, and then pat them dry with paper towels to prevent steaming in the pan.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. If using, stir in the minced garlic for an extra layer of flavor.
- 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the prepared bok choy and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, until the stems are tender-crisp and the leaves are wilted and bright green.
- 4
Pour the prepared dressing over the bok choy in the skillet. Toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the bok choy to be evenly coated.
- 5
Taste the stir-fry and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately while the bok choy is still crisp and vibrant.

Tips & Notes
- If substituting olive oil for butter, use about 3/4 the amount (olive oil is 100% fat, butter is ~80%).
- Press or mince garlic rather than slicing for a more pungent flavor; slice for a milder taste.
- Let cooked rice rest, covered and off the heat, for 5–10 minutes for fluffier grains.
