Garlic-Ginger Bok Choy Sauté

I’ve always wanted to try bok choy, so I finally decided to pick some up at the grocery store. I found an easy & healthy garlic-ginger bok choy sauté recipe by Robin Miller that looked perfect. It was a quick and simple Asian side dish recipe, and it tasted fantastic! This bok choy paired perfectly with the Asian salmon and garlic rice I served for dinner.
Garlic-Ginger Bok Choy Sauté
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 head of baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise, core removed
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- Dash of crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

How to Make Garlic-Ginger Bok Choy Sauté
Cut the baby bok choy in half lengthwise. Cut out the core from the bottom of the cabbage. Remove each stalk, then cut each in half lengthwise.
Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes, then cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
Add the bok choy and soy sauce, then stir until coated. Cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes or until greens are wilted and the stalks are crisp-tender. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, if needed.
Serve and enjoy.

I love bok choy – isn’t it delicious?
Also, I need to get a big jar of soy sauce like you have… I go through it too quick!
Yum. I wish I had planted that. I planted cabbage, but it is taking up SO much room in my garden. Yes, we have 7 avocado trees, but only three of them are Hass. Two are Fuerte and two are Bacon. Hass is by far the superior!! We let the animals have the rest!

I love bok choy in any way. Stir-fry, soups, saute, steamed. Love the garlic ginger combination Pam. Delish!
This is actually something I have never tried before but it looks delicious!
I adore bok choy, but unfortunately, my picky eater can’t stand it. I still make it from time to time.. he just gets to eat something else when I do 🙂
I love the flavors you used, Pam. This will be a delicious side dish with several of my favorite grill recipes. Have a great summer!
It sounds like a great side for salmon!
Looks like a perfect, delicious accompaniment to your dinner.

I have been wanting to try it as well but have not. I even considered growing it but have not done that either. Maybe this post will inspire me 🙂
I have not ever made bok choy. But this looks fantastic! Will have to try it!
I love bok choy! I”m so glad you finally decided to try it, it’s such a great veggie side.
I’ve always been scared to try it!
I have never tried bok choy, but have it is very good. Your recipe sounds wonderful and your pictures make it look so yummy.
Love bok choy! I need at least 3 heads!!
I have some leftover bok choy from the noodles I made this weekend, I will have to try this recipe!

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thank you!

I want to make this tonight but I could not find baby bok choy at our Fred Meyer. So I bought regular Bok Choy. Can I just give it a rough chop and will it be okay to use?
I am sure that it will be fine. Let me know how it turns out!
Thanks for getting back so quickly! I will let you know how it turns out. Serving it with Honey Sesame Chicken.
Making this in a few minutes to go with sirloin pork roast with sweet mustard glaze.
This was so very yummy!!!! I was skeptical because I dislike cabbage. Served it with a lemon garlic salmon fillet. WILL make again.
