Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads bok choy
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- olive oil spray
- pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the bok choy and cut them in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold water to remove any dirt between the leaves and pat dry with a towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to prepare the garlic soy glaze. Set aside.
Lightly spray each cut side of the bok choy with olive oil spray and sprinkle with a pinch of ground black pepper.
Place the bok choy cut side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the bok choy is slightly tender.
Flip the bok choy and brush generously with the garlic soy glaze. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the bok choy is tender and has absorbed some of the glaze flavor.
Remove the bok choy from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top and garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve the grilled bok choy warm as a side dish to your favorite grilled entree.
