Description
A vibrant, savory side dish where tender bok choy is caramelized with golden garlic and topped with creamy, tangy feta for a delightful flavor contrast.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic slices and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Place bok choy halves cut-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to allow caramelization, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and honey. Pour over the bok choy, add red pepper flakes if using, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer bok choy to a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm.
