Instructions
Cut the bok choy in half lengthwise for small heads, or into quarters for larger ones. Rinse thoroughly and drain well.
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the sliced red chili peppers and cook for another 30 seconds until they begin to soften.
Add the bok choy to the pan, stirring to coat the leaves and stems with the aromatics. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the greens wilt but the stalks remain crisp.
Drizzle the prepared ginger chili sauce over the bok choy, tossing everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
