Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 baby bok choy (sliced in half lengthwise)
Seasonings:
- Salt and black pepper (or red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the bok choy, cut side down, and sear for 2 minutes.
- Turn each piece of bok choy over and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Add the soy sauce to the pan, turn to coat the bok choy and reduce the heat to medium low.
- Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bok choy is tender. If your pan is drying out before the bok choy is done, add a splash of water or broth.
- Drizzle with the sesame oil, if desired, and serve immediately.
