Sautéed Baby Bok Choy

Sauteed baby bok choy
Bok choy is such a versatile veggie.  It can be sauteed, roasted, stewed , or served raw in a salad.  I’m so happy that the extra tender “baby” version has become so readily available. I bought these beautiful babies washed and ready to cook at the local Trader Joe’s.   After some unnecessarily agonizing internal debate, I decided to give them a quick stir fry with garlic, ginger, red pepper and soy sauce.  They still needed a little brightening and the drink of vinegar made all the difference.  Be careful not to overcook – they should be served crisp-tender and still have a little bite.

I served these alongside my quick and easy Teriyaki Chicken and had dinner on the table in under 30 minutes.  Use gluten-free soy sauce or liquid aminos to make this gluten-free and paleo.

    […] 13. Sauteed Baby Bok Choy While it’s great with sauces and in stir-fries, bok choy (especially baby bok choy because it’s small and tender) is great just sautéed with seasonings. This one is made with garlic, fresh ginger, red pepper flakes, coconut aminos (in place of the soy sauce), rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil with sesame seeds. […]
