Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly, cut each head into halves lengthwise, and pat them dry.
Slice the yellow bell pepper into thin strips.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Peel and finely grate or mince the fresh ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the sliced yellow bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
Place the baby bok choy halves in the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 2 minutes to lightly sear the cut sides.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables. Stir gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste, and stir again.
Cover the skillet and allow the vegetables to steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the vegetables to a serving platter.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top as a garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
