    Easy recipe for stir fried garlic bok choy with an emphasis on the garlic. This recipe is vegan, Paleo/AIP and delicious.

    Bok choy is one of my husband’s favorite veggies so we make it all the time. Garlic Bok Choy is one of my go-to healthy side dishes. It’s so simple that I didn’t think it needed a recipe. However, I was talking with friends and bok choy isn’t as common a side dish as I would have thought. I wanted to give a simple and delicious recipe for bok choy newbies.

    This recipe is packed with garlic. If you’re not a garlic fan, you’re welcome to reduce the amount slightly. However, the garlic is what gives most of the flavor so I highly recommend leaving it as is.

    If you’ve never had bok choy before, it can sometimes be bitter and the garlic will mask some of the bitterness. To avoid some of the bitterness, I always get baby bok choy. The greens parts of the bok choy taste a little like spinach but the white parts are water dense so they can actually be somewhat juicy.

    If you like this dish and are interested in how you can use it to create a meal, click here to check out my cookbook, 30 Minutes Meals for Paleo & AIP. I’ve paired this Garlic Bok Choy with Roast Pork Loin and laid out the recipe so that you can have the entire meal on the table in 30 minutes. This meal is absolutely delicious but the book includes 119 other recipes for you as well. It’s a really great resource for families. Every single one of these amazing recipes is AIP and will easily fit into your daily life.

    Even my son has gotten in on the bok choy action. I took some and pureed it for him to try. He’s almost 9 months now so he’s had some seasonings but this is a garlic packed dish so I wasn’t sure how he’d handle it. I combined it with some tamer foods like applesauce and oatmeal and he loved it. Well, I don’t know if he actually loved it or not. He didn’t gag or spit it out so I’m counting it as a win! I can’t believe he’s old enough to eat the same food we’re eating. He’s still getting a bottle but in the next few months he will be done with bottles forever. I sound like a broken record sometimes but I can’t believe he’s getting so big. Where did my baby go?

    If you want to know exactly how to turn this delicious dish into a meal, click here to check out the cookbook 30 Minute Meal for Paleo & AIP. The recipe (plus 119 others) is included. The book gives you all the tools you need to make a healthy meal for your family in 30 minutes from start to finish.
