Ingredients

8-10 pieces baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise, washed well and dried
3 tablespoons butter

For the Dressing:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish

For the Spicy Mayo:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha

Instructions

Start by preparing the spicy mayo. Add the mayonnaise and the sriracha to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set that aside.
Next, prepare the dressing. In another bowl, add the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Prepare the bok choy by cutting each one in half lengthwise. Wash them well in cold water and spin them dry in a salad spinner.
Next, add the butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the bok choy, with the cut side down. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn over and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the bok choy from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
Immediately, add the vegetable oil and garlic to the skillet. Cook the garlic for 1 minute.
Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce dressing mixture. Combine with the oil and garlic.
Spoon the dressing mixture over the cooked bok choy.
Finally, drizzle over the spicy mayo, if so desired.
Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
