Grilled Sesame and Spice Baby Bok Choy

Ever wonder what to prepare for a side dish with your favorite Chinese entree?  Well stop right here!  This is a fun and different way to enjoy bok choy.  I paired this with the ever so flavorful Grilled Eggplant with Black Bean Paste and Sweet Soy.

As I am sure you can tell, I have recently become slightly obsessed with Asian foods.  I am super excited to really learn more about Asian traditions along with Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern nutrition....I just bought a book called "Healing with Whole Foods" that has to do with this topic.   I foresee many more Asian recipes and nutrition facts in the near future. 

Anyway, back to bok choy....Typically I steam and/or blanch this vegetable.  But I wanted to jazz it up this time around.  Sesame oil, Mongolian fire oil and rice wine vinegar along with fresh black pepper is all you need!
