Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the baby bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice each head in half lengthwise and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the garlic soy glaze.
Brush the bok choy with olive oil to lightly coat all sides.
Place the bok choy cut side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes or until the cut side gets nice grill marks and begins to char slightly.
Flip the bok choy over and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until it becomes tender.
Remove the bok choy from the grill and place them onto a serving platter.
Drizzle the garlic soy glaze generously over the grilled bok choy.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free grilled bok choy with garlic soy glaze!
