Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Slice each head lengthwise in half and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden (be careful not to burn it).
Add the coconut aminos to the skillet and stir well. Let the mixture simmer for 1 minute, then remove it from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large saucepan or steamer pot, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Place the baby bok choy halves cut-side up in the steamer basket, sprinkle them lightly with salt, and insert the steamer basket into the saucepan. Cover and steam the bok choy for 5-6 minutes, or until the stems are tender and the leaves are wilted.
Carefully remove the steamed bok choy and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the garlic coconut aminos sauce over the steamed bok choy evenly. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately as a nutritious side dish to accompany your favorite protein or Whole30 meal!
