#### 2. **Make the Sauce:**
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, chili flakes or sauce, maple syrup (if using), and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.
#### 3. **Cook the Bok Choy:**
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add bok choy cut-side down and sear for 2–3 minutes until slightly golden. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until wilted but still bright and tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt.
#### 4. **Add the Sauce:**
Pour the ginger chili sauce over the bok choy and let it sizzle for 30 seconds to 1 minute, coating the greens. Remove from heat immediately.
#### 5. **Serve:**
Plate and drizzle with any leftover sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds or scallions if desired.
