"Baby bok choy is such a blank canvas! My favorite way to serve it is with simple Asian flavors: sesame, lots of garlic, and a bit of a kick from hot pepper flakes. It’s awesome. The Step-by-Step VIDEO is on my YouTube channel!"

In a large skillet with a top, add slivered garlic, olive oil, sesame oil, water, and hot pepper flakes and salt to taste. Add baby bok choy in a single layer if possible. Cover skillet and let steam on medium-high heat for 9-12 minutes until fork tender, gently flipping halfway through for even cooking.
