Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 heads baby bok choy
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth

  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds, if desired

Instructions

  1. Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly to remove the grit and dirt stuck in between leaves. Slice the baby bok choy vertically in half. Dry leaves with a paper towel; set aside.

  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently until vegetables are crisp-tender and the sauce thickens. Transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sumac. Serve with chili oil, if desired.
