BABY BOK CHOY IN THE WOK



Baby Bok Choy in the Wok image

This is a fast and easy recipe for cooking bok choy or baby bok choy. You can adjust the amount of flavor by adding more or less sake/soy sauce mixture (use equal amounts). We've found that adding the sesame oil at the end gives it more sesame flavor, but you could also just cook the bok choy in a mixture of vegetable and sesame oil. When in doubt, it's best to slightly undercook the bok choy.

GARLIC BABY BOK CHOY STIR FRY



Garlic Baby Bok Choy Stir Fry image

This stir fried garlic baby bok choy is a great vegetable side or alternative to salad. Easy to make, garlic baby bok choy is a perfect side dish for almost anything.

Provided by Bill

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound baby bok choy ((450g))
2 tablespoons oil
5 cloves garlic ((minced))
salt and white pepper ((to taste))
1/8 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Trim the bottoms off of each bundle of bok choy, and split them in half or quarters. Just make sure all of the pieces are relatively uniform so they cook evenly. You can leave them whole if they're very small and tender.
  • Wash thoroughly with cold water two to three times. These days, we're never too cautious about making sure all of the dirt and pesticides are rinsed away. The best method is to use a large basin or sink to rinse and swirl around the vegetables letting them soak for a few minutes before draining and washing again. Shake off the excess water after the final rinse and transfer to a colander to drain. It is important to drain the vegetables well since these veggies will release quite a bit of water during the cooking process.
  • Heat the wok over high heat until smoking, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Swirl around the oil so the wok is coated. Add all of the garlic and immediately add the bok choy. Move quickly to stir and sauté the greens in the oil and garlic. Stir quickly so you don't burn the garlic!
  • Use a folding motion to turn the vegetables or use tongs if that is easier. Once the vegetables begin to wilt, about 30 seconds, add salt, pepper, and sugar. How long you cook them from here is all personal preference. Judy likes to cook them a bit longer for a softer texture while I like them a little bit more crisp. Plate and serve immediately.

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In wok or large sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add 1/3 of garlic, 1/3 of ginger, and 1/3 of white parts of scallions and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  • Wash the baby bok choy thoroughly: Rinse the baby bok choy under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
  • Remove the tough ends: Trim the root ends of the baby bok choy and discard.
  • Cut the baby bok choy into bite-sized pieces: Cut the baby bok choy lengthwise or crosswise, depending on the desired shape.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok will help to sear the baby bok choy and prevent it from becoming limp.
  • Add a little oil: A splash of oil will help to prevent the baby bok choy from sticking to the wok.
  • Stir-fry quickly: Stir-fry the baby bok choy for just a few minutes, until it is tender-crisp.
  • Season to taste: Add your favorite seasonings to the baby bok choy, such as salt, pepper, garlic, or ginger.
