Ingredients
1 lb ground pork or beef
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (optional)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 head bok choy, chopped
2 tbsp sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.
- Add minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine (if using), brown sugar, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes, letting the sauce slightly thicken.
- Add bok choy and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until wilted but still crisp-tender.
- Drizzle with sesame oil (if using) before serving.
Notes
- Baby bok choy can be used instead of regular bok choy.
- Ground chicken or turkey make excellent leaner alternatives.
- For added heat, stir in chili flakes or fresh chili.
- Enhance the dish with mushrooms, carrots, or bell peppers.
- Omit or reduce sugar and sesame oil for a lighter sauce.
