Garlic Bok Choy Stir-fry

I know this sounds wierd, but I frequently have extra bok choy in ny fridge that needs to get used up. This is a quick and tasty side dish. It calls for brown sugar however you can substitute any sweetener that you prefer.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons tamari sauce
