Ingredients
- 4 heads bok choy
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks, sliced for garnish green onions
- 1 tablespoon, for garnish sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and drying the bok choy. Cut each head in half lengthwise, keeping the leaves attached to the base.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Set the glaze aside.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Brush the cut sides of the bok choy halves with olive oil to prevent sticking and to achieve a nice char.
Step 5
Place the bok choy cut side down directly on the grill grates.
Step 6
Grill the bok choy for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the leaves begin to char slightly and the stems become tender. Adjust the grill time depending on the size of the bok choy.
Step 7
Once grilled, remove the bok choy from the grill and arrange it on a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the garlic soy glaze over the grilled bok choy while it is still warm.
Step 9
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
