Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pak Choy
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 300 milliliters Water
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the pak choy under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the bases if needed and separate the leaves for even cooking.
Bring 300 milliliters of water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer insert or basket. Ensure the water level is below the steamer basket to prevent direct contact with the pak choy.
Place the pak choy into the steamer basket in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid and let the pak choy steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still crisp, and the leaves are wilted.
While the pak choy is steaming, finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the sesame oil. Once heated, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and rice vinegar to the saucepan. Stir well, then remove from heat.
Transfer the steamed pak choy to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic sesame sauce evenly over the pak choy.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top and a pinch of salt to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
