Origin: Middle East

INGREDIENTS

1lb of Baby Bok Choy

1 TSP salt

1 TSP sugar

Garcia de la Cruz Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Garlic

Ginger

Chilis

Soy sauce

Toasted sriracha flavored sesame seed

DIRECTIONS

1. Choose a leafy green veggie. I used about 1lb of Baby Bok Choy. Wash & trim.

2. Bring medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 TSP salt, 1 TSP sugar, & a few swirls of Garcia de la Cruz Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil to water.

3. Blanch greens for 1 minute, remove from water, & plate. I like my greens to retain a little crunch, but you can leave them in another minute if you like them softer.

4. Toast several tablespoons of Garcia de la Cruz Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a small pan. Thinly slice garlic, ginger, and chilis, and fry them in the oil if you'd like, but this is optional.

5. Drizzle soy sauce to taste, then the toasted Garcia de la Cruz Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (& chips) over veggies.

6. I also sprinkled toasted sriracha flavored sesame seeds I found at my local Asian Market to add a smoky, nutty flavor and textural component.
