Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bok choy
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 stalks green onion chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper cut into slices
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 small tomato chopped
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • 1 whole Scotch Bonnet pepper or 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 1 vegan bouillon cube

Instructions

  • Cut the root end off your bok choy, separate each stalk from the base, and rinse each leaf under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut bok choy into 1/4 inch slices. Prepare all the veggies. Set aside
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add onion, and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, green onion, bell pepper, and thyme, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes, carrot, vegan bouillon, bok choy, and Scotch pepper, and stir.
  • Bok choy will wilt and release its own liquid. Cover the saucepan and reduce heat. Cook until bok choy is tender, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately
