How To Make Bok Choy Side Dish
This bok choy side dish goes very quickly so it's best to have everything next to the stove and ready to go.
1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Rinse the baby bok choy and halve if they are big.
- Thinly slice the carrots. My suggestion is to not julienne the carrots or they cook too quick!
- Thinly slice the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Grate the fresh ginger.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
- In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
3. Add Vegetables:
- Incorporate sliced onions and julienned carrots, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Bok Choy Magic:
- Add the bok choy to the skillet, allowing it to wilt and absorb the flavors of the aromatics.

What To Serve With Bok Choy
Because this bok choy is a side dish in this recipe, it would go great with a protein. You can serve it with Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes or Grilled Chicken Breast. Serve this bok choy over rice, fluffy quinoa or mashed potatoes and use the remaining sauce to pour over your meal.
Tip: Pour the remaining sauce into a pan on medium heat, add a slurry which is a combination of maizena and water. Pour it into the remaining sauce, add water by the tablepsoon and simmer to the preferred consistency and use as a 'gravy'. This additional sauce can be used over fish, salmon, chicken and vegetables.
