Background

This steamed pak choi (or bok choy) is a very delicate and tasty side dish that not only fits perfectly in a Chinese menu but goes well with grilled fish or chicken.

Ingredients

750g Pak choi (bok choy)
2 tsp chopped ginger
1 garlic (pressed)
2 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce (light)

Instructions

Cut the pak choi in half or into four wedges if they are large.
Start heating some water in a wok and place a bamboo steaming basket in the wok (the water should not touch the base).
On a plate, that easily fits in the bamboo steamer, mix the pak choi with the ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic. Place the plate in the bamboo basket.
When the water boils, put the lid on the bamboo basket and steam for 3-5 minutes until the pak choi is tender and wilted.
Serve immediately.
