Sesame Bok Choy

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Baby Bok Choy
• 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 3 tbsp Gluten-Free Soy Sauce (Tamari)
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
• 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
• 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 stalks Green Onions

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the bok choy thoroughly. Separate the leaves from the stalks. Chop the stalks into 1-inch pieces and roughly chop the leaves.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until dissolved.

3. 3

   Heat sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

4. 4

   Add the chopped bok choy stalks to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

5. 5

   Add the bok choy leaves and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the leaves are wilted but still bright green.

6. 6

   Pour in the soy sauce mixture and the cornstarch slurry. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the bok choy, about 1 minute.

7. 7

   Remove from heat and stir in sesame seeds and red pepper flakes (if using).

8. 8

   Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
