2 T vegetable oil
2 t dark sesame oil
1 t rice vinegar
1/2 t sugar
1/4 t granulated garlic
1/2 t kosher salt
2 T soy sauce
1/2 t ground mustard

Preheat a toaster oven or conventional oven to 450 degrees F (230 C). Separate the bok choy into stems, trim, wash thoroughly to remove sandy grit, and dry well. Place in a large bowl. drizzle on the vegetable oil, and toss to distribute evenly. Drizzle on the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and the seasonings, tossing after each addition. Transfer to a heavy 8x8 inch baking pan. Roast undisturbed for 15 minutes, and then gently turn the bok choy, and roast an additional 5 minutes until nicely colored. Pairs nicely with pork, chicken, or grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian or vegan meal. Serves 3 to 4.
