Ham and Bok Choy Soup

Ingredients

• 8 oz ham slices
• 4 heads bok choy
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Thinly slice the 2 garlic cloves and 1 inch ginger. Trim the 4 bok choy heads and cut them in half lengthwise, then rinse well to remove any grit.

2. 2

   In a large pot, heat the 1 tsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

3. 3

   Pour in the 6 cups chicken broth and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.

4. 4

   Add the 8 oz ham slices and the bok choy. Simmer until the bok choy is tender and bright green, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Season with the 0.5 tsp black pepper. Taste and add more soy sauce if needed. Serve hot, ensuring each bowl gets some ham and bok choy.
