Sautéed Bok Choy with Garlic and Soy Sauce
This quick and easy dish is not only packed with flavor, but it's also keto-friendly and a great addition to any meal. Bok choy is low in carbs, while the garlic and soy sauce elevate its taste profile.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound bok choy (both white and green parts)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil (to keep it keto-friendly)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for additional flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
- Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit. Trim the ends and separate the leaves.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant – be careful not to burn them.
- Add the bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until wilted and tender but still crunchy.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to coat the bok choy evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Flavor Profile: This dish features a vibrant combination of savory, fragrant, and slightly sweet flavors from the soy sauce and the natural taste of the bok choy, while the garlic and ginger provide an aromatic touch.
Keto-Friendly Explanation: This recipe aligns with keto principles due to its low carbohydrate content. Bok choy is rich in nutrients and fiber while being low in calories, making it an excellent vegetable choice for a ketogenic diet. The healthy fats from the olive oil support your fat intake, essential for maintaining ketosis.
