Ingredients:
– 1 pound fresh bok choy, washed and trimmed

– 2 red chili peppers, thinly sliced
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon honey

3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
4. Add the bok choy to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently to coat with the aromatic oils.
