Sesame Bok Choy Stir-Fry: Nutrition and recipe

Date:

 

Bok choy may not get the attention that other leafy green vegetables (like spinach or kale), or cruciferous vegetables (like Brussels sprouts) typically get, but this Asian-born vegetable deserves some time in the spotlight. For one thing, it’s incredibly healthy — like other similar vegetables, it’s low in calories, but rich in vitamins and minerals. In fact, bok choy offers high levels of vitamin C, A, and K, as well as folate (via Healthline). But aside from its health benefits, bok choy is a tasty way to switch up your side dishes.

 

Prepare the sauce by adding soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Mix and set aside.
Slice the bok choy in half lengthwise, add it to a colander, and rinse well to remove any dirt. Pat dry with paper towel.
Add oil to wok over medium-low heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly brown.
Add the bok choy to the wok. Turn the heat to high and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until the leaves wilt.
Add the sauce to wok and cover with a lid for 1 minute or until the bok choy is tender crisp.
Plate the bok choy and pour any remaining sauce from the wok over top. Garnish with more sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.
