Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads bok choy
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the bok choy under cold running water to remove any dirt, then slice each head lengthwise into quarters.
Cut the tomatoes into small wedges and set them aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bok choy quarters to the skillet, placing them cut-side down. Allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender and lightly browned.
Flip the bok choy and add the tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the tomatoes soften and release some of their juices.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bok choy and tomatoes.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or light vegetable entrée.
