Stir-Fried Bok Choy With Garlic

Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 garlic cloves, chopped, and 1 shallot, chopped, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1 lb. baby bok choy, rinsed and quartered lengthwise with core intact, 1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce, and 2 Tbsp. water; cover immediately. Cook bok choy 1 minute. Uncover and toss, then return cover and cook until bok choy is tender at the core, about 3 minutes longer.
