Spinach and bok choy cook in minutes, but you can use kale, Swiss chard, or any other hardy green with these seasonings and it will be equally good.

Yield
2 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced

8 baby bok choy (about 1 pound total), quartered lengthwise

2 bunches mature spinach, trimmed

¼ cup fresh grapefruit juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1
Heat oil in a medium pot over medium. Cook ginger, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add bok choy, spinach, and 2 Tbsp. water to pot and toss to coat in oil. Cover with lid and let steam until spinach is just wilted, about 3 minutes. Uncover and let cool.
Step 2
Squeeze excess liquid from bok choy and spinach (they hold a lot of water, which will dilute the dressing!). Toss greens and ginger with grapefruit juice and soy sauce in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Crush sesame seeds on a cutting board with a flat-bottomed mug and sprinkle over top.
Step 3
Do Ahead: Greens can be cooked 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
