I use so much garlic in my cooking because not only does it add so much flavor but the health benefits are a great added bonus. With Zulay Kitchen's Garlic Press with Soft Easy-Squeeze Ergonomic Handle makes prepping garlic for stir fry so much faster and easier.
The power of garlic has been linked to strengthening the immune system, regulating blood sugar, reducing blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels to name a few. Couple that with the dark green leafy vegetable, bok choy, and you have a powerhouse of health benefits.

What You'll Need
1lb Shanghai Baby Bok Choy Note: You can use regular baby bok choy or full size bok choy as well. When using full size bok choy you may want to separate the stems from the leafy parts to cook evenly.
5 Garlic Cloves, minced (approx 2 Tbsp of garlic)
4-6 Wood Ear Mushrooms (soaked in warm water for 10 mins, and sliced)

1 tsp Light Soy Sauce
½ tsp Sesame Oil
