Cooking Steps

  • Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt.)
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Make sauce

  • To a medium bowl, add peanut butter and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) warm water. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce and hoisin sauce. Whisk to combine.

  • Suggestions: Consider increasing the sauce quantity to fully coat all ingredients and enhance the overall flavor profile.
  • Sodium: Some customers noted the recipe was high in sodium; adjust seasoning to taste if desired.
