Step 1
Start by separating the bok choy leaves from the stems. Chop the stems into bite-sized pieces and shred the leaves. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the stems first and cook them for about 3 minutes until they start to soften. Then add a splash of water along with the shredded leaves. Let everything cook together until the water has evaporated, which should take around 10 minutes. Stir in the capers, minced garlic, and grated ginger, cooking for another minute to bring out the flavors. Finally, drizzle the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice over the veggies, give it a good stir, and take the pan off the heat. Serve it up right away and enjoy!
