1/2 tsp soy sauce

2 tbs hot water

1 small red onion

Directions:

1. Mix the oyster sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and water in a bowl; it should reach a thick-paste consistency. Once done, keep it aside.

2. Start toasting the sesame seeds in a pan for 1-2 mins over low heat, and keep aside to cool.

3. Blanch the bok choy and keep aside.
