Description
A savory, umami-packed side dish featuring tender bok choy caramelized to golden perfection with garlic, topped with creamy, tangy crumbled feta for a delightful contrast.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bok choy halves cut-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip bok choy and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Stir in soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and coat the bok choy.
- Remove from heat and transfer bok choy to a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese and sesame seeds.
- Season with salt and black pepper as desired. Serve immediately while warm.
