Add bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vibrant green and slightly tender.

Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to coat the bok choy evenly.

Sprinkle red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste; stir-fry for an additional minute.

Add a splash of water if needed to create steam and help cook the bok choy.

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
