Ingredients

• 4 heads Baby bok choy
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 stalk Spring onion (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt between the layers of leaves. Trim the stems slightly and cut each head in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, then set aside.

Step 3

Fill a large pot or wok with about 2 inches of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 4

Place the bok choy halves cut-side up into the steamer basket. Cover with a lid and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender but still slightly crisp and vibrant green.

Step 5

While the bok choy is steaming, prepare the garlic soy drizzle. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and water. Stir and heat gently for 1-2 minutes to warm through and infuse the garlic without burning it. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the bok choy is cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer and arrange it on a serving plate.

Step 7

Drizzle the garlic soy mixture evenly over the steamed bok choy.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced spring onion, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
