- 1 tsp Sugar
- A pinch of monosodium glutamate (Optional)

Cooking

Presentation
- Put everything in the plate
- First, pay attention to the size of your bok chois. Are they mini, small, large? Do not forget that Chinese food is eaten with chopsticks. This requires that each piece of vegetable is cut into a perfect bite-size, so you can handle it with your wooden utensils. I use bok choy shoots, which are very small. So I've cut them in half, lengthwise.
- Then I use a wok, but any skillet will do.Make sure to cover the bottom of your pan with a neutral oil (vegetable, canola oil, grapeseed). Then turn the heat to maximum, and turn on the hood fan!Keep your eye on your pan. Once you see that your oil begins to emit smoke, grab your pieces of bok choy and throw them in. Beware of the smoke cloud!
- After a few seconds, add the soy sauce, pepper, sugar and monosodium glutamate. Let the soy sauce evaporate, then stir your vegetables well.
- The goal here is to make sure to allow the vegetables to stand at the bottom of the pan, without stirring, long enough for them to take on a golden color, but to stir before they reach the pungent black of burnt vegetables.The time elapsed between the moment you put in your vegetables and the moment when you take them out of the pan should not exceed 90 seconds.That's it! Enjoy your meal…
