Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 large head bok choy
• 1 cup long grain rice
• 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (such as sambal)
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1.5 cups cold water
• 0.25 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Separate bok choy leaves from stems. Slice stems into 1-inch pieces; chop leaves.

Step 2

Stir bok choy leaves, chili-garlic sauce, and sesame oil into rice mixture with a fork. Remove pot from heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let sit until rice is cooked through and bok choy leaves wilt, about 5 minutes more. Fluff with a fork and garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 3

Combine water, rice, and soy sauce in a pot; bring to a simmer, and stir in bok choy stems. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook until rice is almost cooked through, about 18 minutes.
