Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and halve the baby bok choy lengthwise. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Place the bok choy in the skillet, cut side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.
Flip the bok choy over and pour the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the bok choy.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the bok choy cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still slightly crunchy.
Remove the lid and toss the bok choy gently to coat them in the glaze. Let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes if needed.
Transfer the hoisin glazed bok choy to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful side dish with steamed rice or your favorite Asian-inspired main course.
