Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 cups Water (for steaming)
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly rinse the baby bok choy under cold water, ensuring all dirt and grit are removed. Cut them in half lengthwise and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Fill a medium-sized pot with 2 cups of water and place a steamer basket on top. Ensure the basket sits above the water level to prevent soggy vegetables.
Step 4
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, place the bok choy halves cut side up into the steamer basket, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and steam for 6-8 minutes, or until the bok choy stalks are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 5
While the bok choy is steaming, prepare the garlic coconut aminos drizzle. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut aminos and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir to combine and let the mixture heat for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7
Once the bok choy has finished steaming, carefully remove them from the steamer basket and arrange them on a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the garlic coconut aminos sauce evenly over the steamed bok choy.
Step 9
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds over the dish as a garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite Paleo main course!
