April 20, 2020
Bok Choy is the perfect side to go with fish, shrimp and scallops or any other protein of your choice. Bok Choy is a Chinese cabbage. So easy to make. So here I am going to provide you with a couple of options.
What you will need Option 1 :
- Preferably a cast iron skillet
- 1 pound of Bok Choy
- Juice of one Lemon
- Zest of one lemon
- 4 Garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon of minced Ginger
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil
- 1/4 cup of bone broth
- 1 tablespoon of TOASTED sesame seeds
Instructions for making Option 1 :
- I split my Bok Choy longways down the middle. See my photo
- In a small bowl, mix together the following:
-Juice of one Lemon
– 4 Garlic cloves minced
– 1 tablespoon of minced Ginger
– 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
– 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil - Brush your mixture all over the flat side of your Bok Choy halves
- Drizzle a bit of your Extra Virgin Olive Oil covering entire base of your cast iron skillet.
- Turn on your stove at high heat to heat up your cast iron skillet.
- Add Bok Choy flat side down into your cast iron skillet until slightly browned for about 3 minutes and leaves start to become wilted.
- Just before flipping over, add just a bit of your Bone Broth…Then flip over and cook on the other side for about another 2- 3 minutes
- When done, place on a platter, squeeze a bit of lemon juice, add your lemon zest and sprinkle a half teaspoon of Toasted Sesame Seeds
