Instructions
- Cut off and discard the base of the bok choy and rinse the leaves under the tap to get rid of sediments then pat them dry.
- There are two options to present the bok choy: One is you cut off the white stalks to separate them from the leaves then chop both parts to smaller pieces but separately. Another way is to leave the bok choy whole. Set aside.

- Pour the sesame oil and sprinkle the sesame seeds. Toss for 1 minute.
