Soy-Braised Baby Bok Choy
Soy-Braised Baby Bok Choy features tender halved bok choy seared until lightly caramelized, then gently braised for a clean, umami-rich finish. The greens stay crisp-tender while the reduced sauce adds a savory glaze with subtle sweetness. Serve as a quick weeknight side alongside rice, grilled fish, or roasted chicken.
