SOY-GLAZED BABY BOK CHOY Recipe
Monday, October 10th, 2011Notes:
Delicious and Easy, Definitely Healthy! If you’ve never tried Bok Choy you’re really missing out!!
It says it serves four, but I can cook this up and eat it as my total dinner or lunch. The estimated nutritional information is below. The way I make it is even than shown though, because I tend to half the oils, the original receipe came out really greasy
Takes about 20 minutes.

Servings: 1-4
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
1 teaspoon peanut oil (just enough to coat the bottom of your pan)
1 pound baby bok choy, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger
2 green onions, chopped
GLAZE
1 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Directions:
Toast the sesame seeds (if you're using) in a dry non-stick skillet to golden. Set aside.
Add the peanut oil to the skillet and let heat on MEDIUM HIGH. When it's hot, add the bok choy, cut side down, interweaving so the stems touch the skillet, the greens stay on top. Let brown for 3 - 4 minutes. Turn over and cook a minute. Transfer to a platter. (While they're cooking, assemble the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.)
Add the garlic, ginger and green onion to the skillet, let cook 1 minute. Add the glaze ingredients and cook til just beginning to thicken, about 1 minute. Return the bok choy to the skillet, cut side down and cook for a minute or two. Return to the serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
