Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the baby bok choy. Slice each head lengthwise into quarters if large, or halves if they're small.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the bok choy to the skillet and stir to coat it in the garlic and ginger mixture.
Pour in the coconut aminos, water, salt, and black pepper. Toss the bok choy in the mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the bok choy steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted and the stems are tender-crisp.
If desired, drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the bok choy before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
