Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 units Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and halve the baby bok choy lengthwise. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to avoid steaming instead of charring.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper to make the garlic soy glaze.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the cut sides of the bok choy with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking, and place them on the grill, cut-side down, for about 4-5 minutes until the edges have charred lightly.
Flip the bok choy and grill for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is tender and slightly charred.
Remove the bok choy from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the prepared garlic soy glaze over the grilled bok choy generously.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm, perhaps as a side dish or a light main course.
