Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads bok choy
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the bok choy heads thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice each bok choy head lengthwise into quarters, keeping the base intact so the leaves remain attached.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper until the sugar has dissolved.
Brush bok choy with olive oil using a pastry brush, ensuring they are well-coated to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the bok choy quarters on the grill cut-side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes until they are charred and tender. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
As the bok choy quarters finish grilling, brush them generously with the garlic soy glaze for the last minute of cooking.
Remove the grilled bok choy from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle any remaining garlic soy glaze over the grilled bok choy and serve immediately.
