Sauteed Bok Choy
20 minutes || My rating: 7/10 || Difficulty rating: Easy
Directions:
- Take your fresh bok choy and cut off the bottom inch to get rid of the tough part of the vegetable.
- Chop the bok choy into large chunks, about 1-2 inches by 1-2 inches. No need to be particular, just get it all generally the same size. For the leaves, chop them up into a similar size.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a medium high saute pan with 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- Add the bok choy to start sauteing.
- Add 1 cup of chicken broth (can substitute vegetable broth), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Feel free to add more of less chili flakes depending on how you like spice.
- Cover the pan, turn the heat to a medium temperature, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the bok choy is fork tender. The greens will wilt and become delicious! Note: Bok choy can be really bitter if not cooked correctly, this is why I went with this method.
I served this with rice and chicken, but this is a great side for any Asian inspired dish.
