Ginger-Garlic Bok Choy with Balsamic and Capers
Ginger-Garlic Bok Choy with Balsamic and Capers brings a lively balance of tangy, peppery, and lightly sweet notes to tender-crisp greens. Capers add briny pops that contrast the mellow garlic and ginger, while a splash of lemon keeps the finish bright. Serve this vibrant side with grilled fish, roasted chicken, or tofu on busy weeknights or casual dinners.
