Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (scallions)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold running water, ensuring any dirt is removed from the leaves and stalks. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Slice the baby bok choy into thin strips and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrot into thin matchstick-like pieces. Add to the bowl with the baby bok choy.
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper. Add the slices to the salad bowl.
Slice the green onions finely on the diagonal and add them to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad along with the toasted sesame seeds.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well-coated.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
