BOK CHOY STIR-FRY



Bok Choy Stir-Fry image

This is a wonderful side dish for an Asian style entree. Bok choy has a wonderful, crisp texture that is reminiscent of celery. You can easily add shrimp or chicken to make a main dish, but I recommend doubling the sauce if you do so. Simple and yummy:)

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY



Stir-Fried Chicken and Bok Choy image

No need for a wok here. You can use a flat-bottomed skillet or sauté pan instead, the bigger the better. You want as much surface area as possible to get as hot as possible, so preheat the pan for at least five minutes before adding the oil. There should be a forbidding amount of smoke when the ingredients hit the pan (open the windows and turn on the fan before you start). That will give you the deepest sear. Stir-fries are infinitely variable, and you can change up this recipe by using beef or pork, and other green vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, spinach or thinly sliced green beans) substitute nicely for the bok choy. Make a version of this dish once or twice and you'll have a reliable and delicious alternative to takeout.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2 to 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
3/4 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 tablespoons finely chopped gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 pound bok choy (1 head), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 leeks (1/2 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Pinch chile flakes
Salt, as needed

Stir in the marinade and a pinch of salt. Move vegetable mixture to the border of the pan. Add remaining ginger and garlic to center of pan and cook, mashing lightly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return chicken to skillet and combine with ginger, garlic, and vegetables.

  • Heat the Wok: Heat your wok or large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. This will help create a sear on the vegetables, enhancing their flavor and texture.
  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you are cooking a large quantity of vegetables, stir-fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the wok or skillet. This will ensure that they cook evenly and do not become soggy.
  • Season Well: Use a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create a flavorful sauce for the stir-fry. Adjust the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences.
  • Cook Quickly: Stir-fries are meant to be cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooking the vegetables will result in a loss of texture and flavor.
  • Add Crunch: To add extra texture and crunch to your stir-fry, consider incorporating ingredients like water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, or bell peppers.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after cooking. This ensures that they retain their vibrant color, texture, and flavor.
