Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb ground meat (chicken, turkey, or beef)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups bok choy, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in the chopped onion and garlic; cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and onion is translucent.
- Add the chopped bok choy and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until it starts to wilt.
- Mix in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, and sesame oil; cook for another 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.

Notes
Swap bok choy with baby spinach, napa cabbage, or kale for variety.
Ground pork offers a richer flavor.
Add a splash of hoisin sauce for sweetness.
For extra crunch, toss in water chestnuts or bell peppers.
