Lemon Garlic Sauteed Bok Choy
Quick, delicious, satisfying. Lots of flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Baby Bok Choy
- 1.5 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper optional for spicy
- Sea Salt
- 1/2 Lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- Remove any discolored outer stalks of the bok choy and discard them (or save for stock later). Place the bok choy into a colander and rinse with cool water, rubbing any grit or dirt away from between the leaves.
- Trim the ends and slice each bok choy in half lengthwise. Or if they are large, cut them into quarters. Pat dry.
- Add the oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a wide room temperature skillet. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to bubble around the garlic, but before the garlic starts to turn light brown.
- Toss in the bok choy and spread into one layer. Sprinkle with about a 1/4 teaspoon of salt then cook, without stirring, until the bottom is starting to turn brown, about 2 minutes.
- Flip then cook another 2 minutes or until the green leaves have wilted and the white bottoms are beginning to soften, but still have some crunch.
- Transfer the cooked bok choy to a platter, then squeeze 2 lemon wedges on top. A teaspoon of olive oil is nice too, Serve with more lemon wedges on the side,
