Steamed Baby Bok Choy with Garlic Soy Sauce

Cut the baby bok choy lengthwise into quarters and wash thoroughly to remove sand or dirt.

Arrange the bok choy in a steaming pot.

Steam the bok choy for about 5 minutes.

While the bok choy is steaming, heat a small sauté pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Add chopped garlic to the pan and sauté until the garlic turns light brown.

Prepare the sauce by adding 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of starch to the pan.

Stir the sauce until it reaches the right consistency, adding more water if needed.

Once the bok choy is done steaming, remove it from the pot and transfer it to a serving platter.

Drizzle the sauce over the steamed bok choy and sprinkle with fried shallots for garnish.
