Ingredients
- 4 heads Bok Choy
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of each bok choy head and separate the individual leaves. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or sand.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Step 4
Prepare a large pot with a steaming basket insert and add about 1-2 inches of water at the bottom, ensuring it doesn't touch the basket.
Step 5
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, place the bok choy leaves in the basket, cover, and steam for about 3-5 minutes or until the bok choy is tender and vibrant green.
Step 6
While the bok choy is steaming, place a small pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7
Once bok choy is done steaming, arrange it on a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic soy mixture over the top evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the bok choy and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Step 9
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the dish for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the steamed bok choy warm as an elegant side dish to your main course.
