- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut each head in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to create the glaze.

Brush the cut sides of the bok choy halves generously with the prepared garlic soy glaze.

Step 7
Flip the bok choy and grill on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the leaves are tender and bright green.
Step 8
Remove the bok choy from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
