I'm fairly new to bok choy. I've had it before, certainly, but I haven't cooked it myself very often. The other day I picked up a few baby bok choy because a) I wanted to try something new-ish, b) there's just one of me, so the baby bok choy seemed more manageable than a full-size bok choy, and c) they're super cute.
Looking around online, it was hard to find a way of cooking them that would be diet friendly, so I improvised.
Recipe:
1 baby bok choy
1-2 teaspoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos (a versatile and delicious natural alternative to soy sauce)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Sea salt
Cut the baby bok choy in half lengthwise. Fill a bowl with cold water and place both halves in the water, soak for about 5 minutes. Remove from water and pat dry.
Meanwhile, pre-heat an electric countertop grill or sandwich press.
Squeeze lemon juice over both sides of the bok choy halves. Sprinkle liquid aminos over the cut side (so it goes in between the leaves).
Place on the grill, cut side down. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve.
These still had good crunchiness, but were nicely warmed through. I paired this with a piece of steamed haddock, and the wilted leaves were very tasty with the fish.
The bok choy itself has a nice flavor, so it was really good with just the lemon juice and liquid aminos.
