Ingredients
| Sesame seed | 1 Tablespoon | |
| 8 medium-size heads baby bok choy (about 1 1/2 lb. total) | ||
| About 2 tablespoons Oriental sesame oil or salad oil | ||
| Minced ginger | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Dry sherry | 3 Tablespoon | |
| Soy sauce | 3 Tablespoon | |
| 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried hot red chilies (optional) | ||
| 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion | ||
Directions
Stir sesame seed in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan over medium-low heat until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
Pour out of pan.
Cut heads of bok choy in half lengthwise.
Rinse between leaves, keeping halves intact.
Coat bottom of a 10 to 12-inch frying pan with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil; set over medium-high heat.
When pan is hot, lay bok choy, as many as will fit in a single layer, cut side down in pan.
Add 2 tablespoons water.
Cover and cook just until bok choy wilts, about 2 minutes.
Lift out of pan, drain briefly, and arrange cut side up on a platter or shallow 3 to 4-quart baking dish.
Empty pan.
Repeat to cook remaining bok choy.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and ginger to pan and stir over high heat until ginger is lightly browned, about 30 seconds.
Add sherry and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and add soy and chilies. (If made ahead, cover sauce and store at room temperature up until the next day.)
