Ingredients
- 500 grams Pak Choy
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 300 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the pak choy under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the bases if needed and separate the leaves for even cooking.
Step 2
Bring 300 milliliters of water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer insert or basket. Ensure the water level is below the steamer basket to prevent direct contact with the pak choy.
Step 3
Place the pak choy into the steamer basket in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid and let the pak choy steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still crisp, and the leaves are wilted.
Step 4
While the pak choy is steaming, finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the sesame oil. Once heated, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and rice vinegar to the saucepan. Stir well, then remove from heat.
Step 7
Transfer the steamed pak choy to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic sesame sauce evenly over the pak choy.
Step 8
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top and a pinch of salt to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
