Notes for Getting It Right

• Wash the bok choy well and dry it.
• Do not let the garlic brown.
• Serve it right away, while the stems are crisp.
• Use baby bok choy whole if you can find it.

If You're Missing Something

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.
