How do I prepare the bok choy for this recipe?

Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly, then chop each head into quarters lengthwise before cooking.

What gives this bok choy its sweet and spicy flavor?

The unique flavor comes from a sauce whisked together using maple syrup for sweetness and Sriracha for a spicy kick, balanced with ginger powder and sea salt.

How long should I cook the bok choy in the skillet?

After placing the bok choy and green onions in the hot olive oil, stir for 5 minutes, then continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes until the bok choy softens before adding the sauce.

What should I do if the pan dries out while cooking the bok choy?

If you notice the olive oil drying up during the initial 5 minutes of stirring, add 1-2 more tablespoons to the pan to prevent sticking.

Can I make this dish less spicy?

Yes, you can adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preference. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and add more if you desire a spicier dish.
