Baby Bok Choy & Ginger with Sesame

A powerhouse of Vitamin C and Vitamin A (one cup has more than 100% of the daily recommended dietary allowance), Bok Choy is a light, flavorful and healthy Chinese cabbage –  low in calories and high in antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals. Ginger is a an anti-inflammatory and cancer fighter while the sesame is good for cholesterol and fighting off free radicals. This dish is inexpensive and simple to make. It’s a regular on the menu at our house, either as a side, a meal on its own with a grain like quinoa or in a stir-fry. The crunch is divine!
