Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each baby bok choy head in half lengthwise and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the baby bok choy, tossing gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Place the bok choy halves cut-side down on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Turn the bok choy over and grill the leafy side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred and the stems are tender.
Remove the grilled baby bok choy from the heat and arrange on a serving platter.
Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or alongside grilled proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
