The Best Garlic Butter Baby Bok Choy Recipe
May 07, 2019Baby bok choy is slowly becoming one of my new favorite go-to veggies. It’s nutrient-dense, very low in carbs, and soaks up any sauce that you pair it with. This recipe calls for a quick sauté, but baby bok choy is also great thrown on the grill or as a colorful and nutritious addition to soups or stews.
