Steamed Bok Choy
Steamed Bok Choy delivers tender-crisp stalks and delicate leaves with a fresh, mild taste. A warm drizzle of garlic, shallot, and vinegar adds brightness and a gentle tang, while a squeeze of lime wakes up every bite. Serve it as a light side for weeknight meals or alongside grilled fish, tofu, or rice bowls.

Bring about 1 inch of water to a simmer over medium heat in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Arrange the bok choy in the basket, cut side up. Cover and steam until the stems are tender, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the stalks. To test for tenderness, insert the tip of a knife into the stem.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook for about 1 minute, then stir in the vinegar and cook for 1 additional minute.
