It was my first time with Bok Choy


This picture is actually my second try, so glad I got 2 bunches of bok choy! The first bunch, I just tossed in the pan with some evoo and it turned out tasty but hard to cut and bite. Brilliantly, I chopped the second bunch and tossed them in oil and sesame seeds. I loved it!
Bok choy is known as the Chinese cabbage but it had such a mild flavor compared to green and red cabbage that it really needed some sesame flavor. Lots of recipes said to use soy sauce - but soy hates me, so I improvised.
It greened up so nice after the sautee and actually paired nicely with my good friend, Hormel Beef and au jus.
I can't wait for the next time bok choy wanders across my plate :)
