1.
Cut any large pieces of baby bok choy in half lengthwise. Rinse bok choy in cold running water. Shake gently to remove water. Drain well. Set aside.

In a large skillet heat oil. Cook bread crumbs in hot oil for 1 minute or until just beginning to brown. Add garlic. Cook and stir for 1 minute more or until crumbs are golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove crumb mixture from skillet. Set aside. Add bok choy to hot skillet. Cook, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until stalks are just heated through and leaves are wilted, turning often. Transfer to a serving dish. Toss with crumbs, drizzle with soy sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seed. Makes 4 side-dish servings.
