Savory Garlic Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Juicy Ground Meat

 

1 lb bok choy, chopped (separate stems and leaves)

8 oz ground pork or ground chicken

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

 

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat (pork or chicken) to the skillet and cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan with the meat. Cook for another minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add the bok choy stems to the skillet first, as they take longer to cook. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the bok choy leaves to the skillet and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, until the leaves wilt and the bok choy is tender. Pour in the soy sauce, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your savory stir-fried bok choy with ground meat over rice or noodles for a complete meal!
