Directions
First, separate the bok choy leaves from the stems. Cut the stems into bite-sized pieces and shred the leaves. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the stems and cook them until they start to get tender, about 3 minutes. Then add a splash of water along with the shredded leaves, and cook everything together until the water evaporates and the greens are soft, which should take around 10 minutes. Stir in the capers, minced garlic, and grated ginger, cooking for another minute so the flavors come together. Finally, drizzle the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice over the bok choy, give it a quick stir, and take it off the heat. Serve it right away while it’s warm and fresh.
How To Enjoy This Dish
Serve alongside steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. It also pairs well with grilled chicken or tofu. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds can add a nice crunch and extra flavor.
Leftover Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the bok choy. Avoid freezing, as it can make the vegetables watery and limp.
