Sweet, sticky, garlicky good… open sesame to Flavortown for this easy-to-make, easier-to-love dish. Fresh and earthy, bok choy provides the perfect complement for fluffy rice and hearty steak strips. But it’s the mix of great Asian flavor profiles that puts this meal over the top: garlic, ginger, sesame, and a hint of lime. Every bite is simply perfection. Tip: Bok choy can retain some grit, even after washing. To completely clean, hold upside down in a bowl of water. Shake slightly to release the grit.
