Ingredients
- 6 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Slice each head lengthwise in half and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden (be careful not to burn it).
Step 4
Add the coconut aminos to the skillet and stir well. Let the mixture simmer for 1 minute, then remove it from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a large saucepan or steamer pot, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Place the baby bok choy halves cut-side up in the steamer basket, sprinkle them lightly with salt, and insert the steamer basket into the saucepan. Cover and steam the bok choy for 5-6 minutes, or until the stems are tender and the leaves are wilted.
Step 7
Carefully remove the steamed bok choy and arrange them on a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the garlic coconut aminos sauce over the steamed bok choy evenly. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a nutritious side dish to accompany your favorite protein or Whole30 meal!
