Sesame Ginger Grilled Bok Choy
Description
The recipe starts by halving and rinsing baby bok choy, then drying it thoroughly to allow the dressing to coat the leaves evenly. The dressing combines olive oil, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and ground ginger, which is tossed with the bok choy to infuse it with balanced umami, nuttiness, and warmth.
Grilling over medium-high heat for about four minutes, turning to char both sides, enhances the bok choy's natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor while softening the greens without losing all their crispness. Finally, any leftover dressing is drizzled on top, and the dish is garnished with sesame seeds for texture and visual appeal.
This grilled vegetable side pairs well with grilled meats or can be served as a flavorful component in an Asian-inspired meal.
