Ingredients
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and dry the baby bok choy. Slice each head lengthwise into quarters if large, or halves if they're small.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
Step 3
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 5
Add the bok choy to the skillet and stir to coat it in the garlic and ginger mixture.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut aminos, water, salt, and black pepper. Toss the bok choy in the mixture.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the bok choy steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted and the stems are tender-crisp.
Step 8
If desired, drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the bok choy before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
