Serves 2-3 people

The Goods:

  • 3 or 4 baby bok choy, cut in half

  • 1/2 cup Big Tree Farms Coconut Aminos

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp sriracha

  • 1 tsp granulated garlic


The Method:

  1. Into a large mixing bowl, add your coconut aminos, sesame oil, sriracha, granulated garlic, and stir until fulled mixed. Set aside.

  2. Grab a large cast iron flat top or cast iron pan, and heat on medium high with a dash of sesame oil.

  3. Once the cast iron hot and sizzling, take each half of baby bok choy and gently dip it face down into the coconut aminos marinade and place it onto the hot cast iron face down. One by one, line the bok choy up on the cast iron and cook for 2-3 minutes. When they are cooking use tongs but remember for this part, the less touching and moving them around the better, just let them sear for as long as possible.

  4. Then using tongs, flip them over and cook on the back side for 2-3 minutes or until the whole bok choy has brown seared edges and the leaves are soft and malleable. (Tip: Be extra careful not to splatter yourself with hot liquid for this cooking part, because it will get messy.)

  5. Once they are golden brown, add them to a plate and serve them with your favorite ramen, or by itself as a tasty side! Enjoy while they are still warm.
