Description

Crunchy peanuts and fresh cilantro top this easy sauteed baby bok choy, drizzled with a Thai-inspired peanut sauce.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 medium lime, juiced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1 Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, water, Sriracha, lime juice, ginger, and garlic together for sauce and set aside so flavors can mix.
2 Heat oil in a large, nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the bok choy, cut-sides down, until they are starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip them over and continue to cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
3 Place bok choy on a plate. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.
