Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads Bok Choy
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions
Instructions
Trim the ends of each bok choy head and separate the individual leaves. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or sand.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Prepare a large pot with a steaming basket insert and add about 1-2 inches of water at the bottom, ensuring it doesn't touch the basket.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, place the bok choy leaves in the basket, cover, and steam for about 3-5 minutes or until the bok choy is tender and vibrant green.
While the bok choy is steaming, place a small pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once bok choy is done steaming, arrange it on a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic soy mixture over the top evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the bok choy and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the dish for garnish.
Serve the steamed bok choy warm as an elegant side dish to your main course.
