Grilled Bok Choy with Ginger Scallion Garlic Oil image

Bok choy is a weeknight veggie staple in our house, and it doesn't take a lot of work to make it taste great. Just throw it in a pan and forget about it while you prep the rest of dinner - the edges get crispy, the innards stay tender, and drizzling it with scallion ginger oil really takes it up a notch.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons neutral oil
Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil, recipe follows
Toasted white and black sesame seeds, for garnish
Flaky salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup neutral oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut the bok choy lengthwise into quarters, making sure each quarter has a portion of the root end.
  • For a more intense ginger flavor, use fresh ginger instead of ground ginger.
  • If you don't have sesame oil, you can substitute olive oil or vegetable oil.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Serve grilled bok choy immediately, or it will become soggy.

Conclusion:

Grilled sesame ginger bok choy is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is healthy, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook bok choy, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
