Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 cups Water (for steaming)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the baby bok choy under cold water, ensuring all dirt and grit are removed. Cut them in half lengthwise and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Fill a medium-sized pot with 2 cups of water and place a steamer basket on top. Ensure the basket sits above the water level to prevent soggy vegetables.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, place the bok choy halves cut side up into the steamer basket, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and steam for 6-8 minutes, or until the bok choy stalks are tender but still slightly crisp.
While the bok choy is steaming, prepare the garlic coconut aminos drizzle. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the coconut aminos and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir to combine and let the mixture heat for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the bok choy has finished steaming, carefully remove them from the steamer basket and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the garlic coconut aminos sauce evenly over the steamed bok choy.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds over the dish as a garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite Paleo main course!
