Step 4.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the bok choy.

Step 5.

Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice.

Step 6.

Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the peanuts.

Step 7.

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot.

Step 8.

Add the sliced bok choy and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper.

Step 9.

Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and the bok choy leaves are wilted.

Working one piece at a time, thoroughly coat the seasoned fish in the seasoned flour.
