Braised Baby Bok Choy

1-2 Bok Choy

Sesame oil

1/2 C water

1/4 C Rice wine vinegar

1/4 C Soy sauce

1/4 C Brown sugar

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Ground ginger

Separate and clean the bok choy then chop into bite sized pieces separating the white stems from green leaves.  Mix the liquids, garlic powder, & ginger and set aside.  

Heat the sesame oil in a wide high sided pan and saute the white stems over high heat until they start to brown and become tender.  Cut the heat to medium low, dump in the liquids, then the brown sugar.  Stir to dissolve the sugar then add the leaves.  Boil the bok choy until the leaves are tender which should only take a few seconds.  Extract the bok choy and serve.  A draining spoon/skimmer is very helpful at removing the bok choy.
