Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce

• 1 tablespoons water

• ½ tablespoon rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon mirin, or ½ teaspoon honey

• ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

• 1 garlic clove, chopped

• Red pepper flakes

• 2 teaspoons avocado oil, plus more as needed

• 1 pound baby bok choy, 3 to 4, halved or quartered

• Sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Instructions

• In a small bowl, stir together the tamari, water, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

• Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the bok choy, cut side down, and sear until browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove, add more oil to the pan, if necessary, and add the remaining bok choy and repeat.

• Add all of the bok choy back to the pan along with the sauce. Toss, then cover and cook 1 to 2 more minutes, or until the bok choy is tender.

• Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.
