Pak Choi with Sweet Chilli Sauce

Ingredients

  • 4-5 baby pak choi (or 2 large pak choi)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or lime juice)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Fresh coriander (optional)
  • Red chili flakes (optional for added spice)

Instructions:

  • Prepare the Pak Choi:
    • Rinse the pak choi thoroughly and cut off the root ends. If you’re using large pak choi, you can cut them into halves or quarters, depending on size.
  • Heat the Pan:
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat.
  • Cook the Pak Choi:
    • Add the pak choi to the pan. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves start to wilt, and the stalks become tender but still crisp.
  • Add Garlic and Ginger (if using):
    • Add the minced garlic (and ginger if you’re using it) and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  • Make the Sauce:
    • Pour in the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well to coat the pak choi in the sauce. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the sauce to slightly thicken.
  • Finishing Touches:
    • Once the pak choi is well-coated and tender, remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh coriander, and red chili flakes for extra heat if desired.
  • Serve:
    • Serve as a side dish or on its own with steamed rice or noodles.

Enjoy your vibrant, flavorful Pak Choi with Sweet Chilli Sauce!
