Spicy Bok Choy Recipe – 2 Points

spicy bok choy

There’s nothing I love more than a dish that’s quick and easy to throw together, yet is tremendously flavorful. This Spicy Bok Choy Recipe is a perfect example.

Inspired by a recipe I had at a local restaurant, I put together this delicious bok choy side dish recipe in minutes. I’ve always felt that baby bok choy is one of those often overlooked vegetables, so I love finding an opportunity to incorporate it into my diet.

It has a much more mild flavor as opposed to other leafy greens like chard and kale, and is still full of nutrients. In this Weight Watchers recipe, the bok choy head is simply halved and then seared in a wonderful peanut, soy, and sriracha based sauce.

    This sounds amazing! Quick question, what do you mean by peanut sauce? Is this store bought?

      Yes, it’s a store bought jar of peanut sauce. You can find it in the Asian foods section. I got mine at Whole Foods. :)
