Ingredients

• 6 heads Baby bok choy
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free, low-sodium preferred)
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt, especially at the base and inner leaves. Trim the tough stem ends if necessary but keep the heads intact.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.

Step 3

Set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Place the bok choy in the steamer basket, cover, and steam over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the leaves are vibrant green and the stalks are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 4

While the bok choy is steaming, prepare the garlic soy drizzle. Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, erythritol, and 2 tablespoons of water. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the bok choy is done steaming, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic soy sauce over the bok choy, ensuring an even coating.

Step 7

Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions across the top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish or pair with your favorite keto protein for a complete meal.
