When I want some quick comfort food my mind goes to any kind of copycat takeout item. This easy teriyaki pork and bok choy recipe comes together quickly and is just as satisfying as a takeout meal. Plus, with this one you know exactly what ingredients are going into it.

My family didn’t eat at restaurants a lot growing up, probably because my parents are both great cooks, but when we did get take out it was usually Chinese or Japanese. If I didn’t want sushi, I knew of one other thing on the Japanese menu that I would like: teriyaki chicken.

I wanted this easy teriyaki pork and bok choy to have that classic teriyaki flavor that I remember, but with simpler and healthier ingredients. It will take just a few simple ingredients, a wok and less than 30 minute to put this meal together.

How should I serve this Easy Teriyaki Pork and Bok Choy?

I chose bok choy as a green veggie to add to this easy teriyaki pork and bok choy dish because I love the sharp flavor in contrast to the sweet teriyaki sauce. You can get baby bok choy at many grocery stores.

If you cannot find it you can substitute another green veggie in like steamed snap peas or steamed broccoli. You can also use chicken or tofu in place of the pork.

I served this dish with some plain white rice because we’ve been on a big white rice kick in our house lately. If you prefer brown rice or quinoa, that would be great with this recipe as well.

If you want to have a lower carb meal then this dish would be perfect with cauliflower rice.
