Rinse Alaska Dungeness Crab clusters under cold running water to remove any ice glaze; pat dry with paper towels. Discard towels.

Add broth, Ponzu sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and garlic to large pot. Insert vegetable steamer or bamboo steamer. Add crab to steamer and bring broth to a boil. Cover and steam crab for 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove crab from pot; cover and keep warm. Remove steamer from pot; add bok choy to steamer broth. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes, until wilted.
