Baby greens, with their tender leaves and mild flavor, make a refreshing and nutritious salad base. However, many may find them too bland on their own. This is where a flavorful dressing comes in. With the right combination of ingredients, a dressing can transform a simple salad into a delightful and satisfying dish. One particularly delicious pairing for baby greens is a soy sauce garlic dressing. The salty and savory flavors of soy sauce, combined with the aromatic and slightly spicy notes of garlic, create a delectable sauce that perfectly complements the delicate greens.

Steps:
- Remove any blemished outside stalks from the greens. Put the spinach to one side so that you can add it to the wok or pan at the last minute, as it cooks very quickly. Prepare the rest of the Chinese greens; i normally cut the Chinese broccoli into strips and the bok choy into quarters. Plunge the greens into boiling water for about 1 1/2 minutes until just tender, and drain well.
- Put the oil and the ginger into a very large, hot wok or other suitable pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and the rest of the ingredients apart from the seasoning. Stir, then add the spinach and toss so that everything is coated in sauce. The vegetables will sizzle and stir-fry. The oyster and soy sauce will reduce, just coating the greens. At this point season to taste. Stir-fry for a further minute and serve immediately.

QUICK BABY BOK CHOY WITH GARLIC
I prefer to use baby bok choy for this recipe, but you can also use large bok choy. The cook time is really quick, so have all the ingredients ready before you start.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh baby greens. If you can't find baby greens, you can use regular greens, but be sure to remove the tough stems.
- To make the dressing, you can use any type of soy sauce you like. I prefer to use a light soy sauce, but you can also use a dark soy sauce or a tamari soy sauce.
- If you don't have any garlic powder, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic instead.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

This baby greens salad with soy sauce garlic dressing is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
