Steamed Bok Choy
Catherine Barclay
Steamed bok choy becomes a bright, aromatic side dish when paired with minced garlic, fresh chives, and zingy ginger. A light drizzle of soy sauce, plus lime juice and zest, adds a clean, citrusy lift that keeps the greens tender, vibrant, and full of refreshing flavour

Cuisine Chinese
- 4 baby bok choy
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp chives
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 4 tsp salt-reduced soy sauce
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
Take the baby bok choy and slice off the base so that all the leaves separate. Wash to remove any dirt caught in the centre of the plant.
In a bamboo steamer or a pot with a steamer, line the bok choy so that they are not covering each other. Set aside while you make up the sauce.
Mix all other ingredients in a small bowl.
Steam the bok choy for up to 6 mins, just enough that you can pierce the base of the bok choy with a knife.
Transfer the bok choy to a platter, drizzle over the premade sauce, and serve immediately.
