Instructions:
Prepare the bok choy: Wash the bok choy thoroughly and slice in half lengthwise.
Sauté the aromatics: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Cook the bok choy: Add the bok choy to the pan, cut side down. Pour in the water, cover with a lid, and let steam for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
Make the XO sauce glaze: Remove the lid and add soy sauce and XO sauce. Toss to coat evenly, then stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bok choy is tender but still crisp.
Serve and enjoy: Plate immediately, making sure to drizzle all the delicious sauce over the bok choy. Garnish with Chilli Chan’s Crispy Chili Oil and sesame seeds. Serve hot as a side dish to rice, noodles, or your favorite main meal.
