Description
Sautéed in a sticky glaze, this bok choy has just enough crunch and a mouthwatering mixture of spicy and sweet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 heads of baby bok choy
- 3-4 green onions
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoons sriracha
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
Instructions
- Wash bok choy thoroughly and chop into quarters, lengthwise. Chop green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, salt, and ginger powder until well-combined.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet [I recommend using a cast-iron if you have one!] on medium-high heat.
- Place bok choy and green onions into the pan.
- For the next 5 minutes, gently stir everything to prevent sticking. If you notice the oil drying up, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons to the pan.
- After 15-20 minutes, the bok choy should be softening.
- Pour in the sauce mixture into the pan and stir. It should sizzle quite a bit – this is normal.
- Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes as the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and serve. This would be great over rice or quinoa!
Notes
As a side, this will serve 3-4 people.
This recipe can be made on the stovetop or on the grill – I recommend using a foil tray if you're going the grill route.
