Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing the bok choy under cool running water to remove any dirt, especially in between the leaves and base. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Cut each head of bok choy in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Brush the cut sides of the bok choy halves generously with the prepared garlic soy glaze. Make sure all the leaves and the core are coated.
Place the bok choy halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until the leaves start to char and wilt slightly.
Flip the bok choy and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the leafy parts to get tender while the core remains slightly crisp.
Transfer the grilled bok choy to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic soy glaze over the tops.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the grilled bok choy for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite grilled proteins or dishes.
