Stir-fried Sesame Bok Choy

Bok choy is one of the many vegetables that I always have in my fridge. It is such a versatile vegetable. I can use it in soup and stir-fried with noodles or with other vegetables. One simple way of cooking bok choy is to stir-fry it with just the basic aromatics, like this Sesame Bok Choy.

Stir-fried sesame bok choy is just one of the many vegetable dishes that I normally cook for my family during Easter week. It is so fast and easy to make. The addition of sesame oil gives this simple dish its aromatic smell and taste.
