Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the bok choy under cool running water to remove any dirt, especially in between the leaves and base. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
Cut each head of bok choy in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Brush the cut sides of the bok choy halves generously with the prepared garlic soy glaze. Make sure all the leaves and the core are coated.
Step 6
Place the bok choy halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until the leaves start to char and wilt slightly.
Step 7
Flip the bok choy and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the leafy parts to get tender while the core remains slightly crisp.
Step 8
Transfer the grilled bok choy to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic soy glaze over the tops.
Step 9
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the grilled bok choy for added crunch and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite grilled proteins or dishes.
