3. [3:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=197s) Wash the leaves thoroughly in water, rubbing the stalks to clean off dirt.
4. [4:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=246s) Drain the washed bok choy in a colander.
5. [4:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=251s) Lay the leaves on a clean towel to dry off excess moisture.
6. [4:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=277s) Slice larger bok choy pieces in half lengthwise, keeping smaller ones intact.
7. [5:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=331s) Finely mince the garlic cloves.
8. [5:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=339s) Heat a wok on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
9. [5:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=343s) Pour in the corn oil and heat until shimmering.
10. [5:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=358s) Add the minced garlic and sauté for 15 to 20 seconds until fragrant.
11. [6:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=373s) Toss in the bok choy stalks first and stir-fry briefly.
12. [6:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=385s) Add the remaining leaves and stir-fry on high heat.
13. [6:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=394s) Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the bok choy softens and changes color.
14. [7:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=478s) Season with salt, sugar, and chicken bouillon.
15. [8:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tGVqr0QXh0&t=487s) Optionally add a dash of olive oil for a glossy look.
