Stir in the marinade and a pinch of salt. Move vegetable mixture to the border of the pan. Add remaining ginger and garlic to center of pan and cook, mashing lightly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return chicken to skillet and combine with ginger, garlic, and vegetables.

10 MINUTE LEMON GARLIC SAUTEED BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Remove any discolored outer stalks of the bok choy and discard them (or save for stock later). Place the bok choy into a colander and rinse with cool water, rubbing any grit or dirt from between the leaves. Trim the ends then slice each bok choy in half lengthwise. Or if they are large, cut into quarters. Pat dry.
• Add the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes to a wide room-temperature skillet. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to bubble around the garlic, but before the garlic starts to turn light brown.
• Toss in the boy choy and spread into one layer. Sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt then cook, without stirring, until the bottom is starting to turn brown, about 2 minutes.
• Flip then cook another 2 minutes or until the green leaves have wilted and the white bottoms are beginning to soften, but still have some crunch.
• Transfer to a platter then squeeze 2 lemon wedges on top. A teaspoon or so of olive oil is nice, too. Serve with more lemon wedges on the side.

• Cut each bok choy in half lengthwise.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy in a single layer cut side down and cook without stirring until the bottoms start to brown, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, flip the bok choy over and cook until the stalks begin to soften but still have some crunch (the leaves will be wilted), about 2 additional minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add the sauce to the skillet. Simmer for 30 seconds or until slightly thickened whisking constantly (don't burn the garlic!).
• Add bok choy back to the skillet and turn with tongs until the sauce glazes each bok choy halve.
