A couple days ago, Kyle and I went to town with getting a few recipes ready for Apple of My Eye. Let me tell ya, cooking is exhausting. We were both more than ready to take a nap after and recharged by eating a half gallon of S’mores ice-cream while watching Netflix on the couch. We make a good team.
In total, we prepared and photographed four new recipes to share, one of which was this ridiculously easy and tasty Garlic Ginger Bok Choy recipe.
It doesn’t get much easier than this! Ready in literally 10 minutes from start to finish, it’s bursting with flavor, color, and nutrition to boot! It makes the perfect healthy side dish and pairs well with so many different main dishes. Kyle and I were definitely thankful that this recipe came together so quickly after all our other cooking endeavors!
Bok Choy is a powerhouse of vitamin A and C and one cup of the tasty vegetable contains more that 100% of your recommended vitamin A and 75% of your recommended vitamin C. Along with that, it has only 9 calories per shredded cup and is the perfect way to balance out a heavier meal, like the Brown Sugar Glazed Asian Beef I paired it with. (Recipe to come this week- it’s a long-time family favorite!)
If you’re ever in need of a speedy side dish to round out a meal, this is the perfect recipe for you!
Enjoy!

You hit the nail right on the head with this recipe, girl! I love Asian food and bok choy is one of my favorite Asian vegetables to make. Paired with beef it’s pure bliss and I’ll make sure to bookmark both of the recipes to make them here in France!
I’m with you on that one- asian food is my all-time favorite cuisine!
So simple, but so good! Looks really yummy.
Easy recipes are my fav (I’m with you on cooking being exhausting). Thanks for sharing, it looks delicious!
You’re welcome! And yes- easy recipes for the win! 😀
This looks super easy (and tasty!). I’m a huge fan of simple recipes!
Same here! Some days you just want to have something quick after a busy day :). This fits that bill perfectly!
This looks gorgeous. I love Asian green veg dishes. Your photography is beautiful, Christine.
Thanks so much, Nikki! I’ve been working on it and am starting to understand lighting more, which is making all the difference
I totally feel ya! I’ve gone out of town twice in the last few weeks so I’ve cooked like a crazy person before I left to have some content. I looked like a chicken cooking chicken with my head cut off hehe. Thankfully home now and can actually enjoy a leisurely process of cooking! Gorgeous dish! I love Bok Choy:)
Glad I’m not the only one who goes crazy in the kitchen to keep the recipes coming haha!
I love it! So simple, but you can’t go wrong with soy sauce and ginger. So good.
It’s such a delicious combination!
I just found your blog through Running With Spoons and I’m glad I did–this recipe looks delicious! Especially paired with the beef. Plus I’m kind of obsessed with soy sauce (seriously, I put it on all my veggies) so there’s no doubt I’d love this.
So glad you found your way over here! I love “meeting” other bloggers and can’t wait to hear more from you :D.
Haha I’m totally on the soy sauce boat with you. It’s delicious on everything!
ah, thank you for a quick weeknight recipe! and one this tasty and healthy? encore, encore! =)
Haha, right?! I love it when you get a combination of healthy and delicious! 😀
I am ALL about easy recipes lately!! Love this!
Seriously, right?! Easy recipes are the best!
This looks like a recipe my husband would LOVE! He is obsessed with ginger, so this is right up his alley!
Haha funny to hear someone being obsessed with ginger of all food things ;).
This looks fabulous! I’m always for a quick, easy recipe. This would go great with the Pad Thai I always make!
Mhmm you should post your pad thai recipe! I’m a little intimidated to make it since it seems so fancy- but LOVE it! One of my favorite foods!
This looks delicious! I think I would definitely go heavy on the red pepper flakes, love those! Great photos, as usual 😉
Haha oh man, that’s where we differ! I have basically zero spice tolerance, so a small pinch is really all I can handle ;). Can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on a great new flavor though! Wish I could handle it like you can!
I should make this for my mom tonight – last night before I leave! She adores bok choy and just bought a whole bunch!!! Thanks for the idea 😀
You’re so welcome! 😀
Hope she likes it!
I’ve always wanted to try bok choy!! Bookmarked for later!! (:
It’s delicious! You should definitely give it a try when you can 😀
I’ve never made anything like this , maybe it’s time to expand the mind!
Always good to try new things 😀
I’ve never in my 24 1/2 years tried bok choy. After seeing this recipe, I think it may just be the perfect time to change that! I love how fresh & refreshing this SIMPLE dish looks :).
WHAT! I feel like you would love it- it’s super simple and delicious! Most grocery stores carry it as well
This looks delicious, it’s bookmarked as a side dish for one of my low calorie days. I just need to get hold of some sesame seeds.
I’ve never made bok choy before, but it looks so simple to prepare.
I’m actually really excited about the beef recipe now. It looks so good in the photos, I feel like I can practically smell it through my screen. LOL
