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.

Soy-Braised Baby Bok Choy
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add bok choy and cook, turning once, until just golden, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add stock and soy sauce to the skillet. Cover, lower the heat to medium, and simmer until the bok choy is tender, about 5 minutes. Move the bok choy to a serving platter, keeping the liquid in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Boil the liquid over medium-high heat until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes, then pour it over the bok choy to serve.
