What you’ll need to saute bok choy
Cooking oil: An oil with a high smoke point, like avocado oil, works great for this recipe. Bok choy: The star of the show! Cut it in half lengthwise or use baby bok choy. Ginger: Infuse your dish with the warming yet zesty aroma of ginger. I like to use finely minced ginger, but you can also use ginger paste from a tube, if you’d rather. Garlic: Adds savory depth. Soy sauce: For umami goodness!
What is the difference between bok choy and baby bok choy?
Baby bok choy is simply bok choy that has been harvested early. It’s smaller and a little more tender than its full grown version. What makes this recipe special is that we cook the cut side of the bok choy until it’s gorgeously dark brown, which gives it so much flavor. We add some ginger and garlic to the mix then finish it off with a little soy sauce. The result is a simple and delicious side dish. In the pictures, you see baby bok choy. But both work well in this recipe.
Sesame – Drizzle a little sesame oil over the bok choy at the end of cooking. Citrus – A squeeze of lime juice is nice. Spicy – add a teaspoon (or two!) of chili garlic sauce when you cook the ginger and garlic.
