Ingredients

• 4 heads baby bok choy
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash and halve the baby bok choy lengthwise. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place the bok choy in the skillet, cut side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.

Step 6

Flip the bok choy over and pour the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the bok choy.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the bok choy cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still slightly crunchy.

Step 8

Remove the lid and toss the bok choy gently to coat them in the glaze. Let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the hoisin glazed bok choy to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful side dish with steamed rice or your favorite Asian-inspired main course.
