Ingredients

• 4 heads bok choy
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly rinse the bok choy under cold running water to remove any dirt, then slice each head lengthwise into quarters.

Step 2

Cut the tomatoes into small wedges and set them aside.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the bok choy quarters to the skillet, placing them cut-side down. Allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender and lightly browned.

Step 7

Flip the bok choy and add the tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the tomatoes soften and release some of their juices.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bok choy and tomatoes.

Step 10

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or light vegetable entrée.
