Ingredients

3 pak choi (also known as bok choy) sliced lengthways
2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 garlic cloves minced or finely diced
2 cm ginger root peeled, finely diced
pinch salt
pinch black pepper

Instructions

First slice the end of the bulb off if tough, then slice the pak choi in half lengthways. If larger in size, they can be cut into three or quarters.
Place in your steamer for 3-5 minutes, or until fork tender.
While the pak choi is steaming, pour the sesame oil into a small frying pan, along with the garlic, ginger, salt and black pepper. Heat until just lightly bubbling.
Transfer the pak choi to your serving plate and drizzle over the dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

A lot of pak choi in the supermarket has already been prepared, but if the bulb is tough slice the end off. Be careful not to slice too much as it holds the leaves together.
Slice the pak choi lengthways, through the bulb.
Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to preference.
Check the pak choi in the steamer after three minutes. You want the texture to still be crisp, but going towards tender. Leave to steam for a few more minutes if required.
If it works for you, then you can add a teaspoon of soy sauce or coconut aminos to the dressing.
