Ingredients

450g baby bok choy

15ml olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

30ml minced shallots

30ml white vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 fresh lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Start by trimming any discolored outer leaves from the baby bok choy. Trim the ends of the stalks and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

In a large pot with a steamer basket, bring about 2.5cm of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Arrange the bok choy in the basket, cut side up. Cover and steam until the stems are tender, which should take about 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the stalks. To check for tenderness, insert the tip of a knife into the stem.

Step 3

While the bok choy is steaming, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and shallots, cooking for about 1 minute. Stir in the vinegar and continue to cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Transfer the steamed bok choy to a serving plate, spoon the garlic mixture over the top, and drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with a wedge of lime.
