15 baby bok choy
4 cloves raw garlic, minced
1/2 Tablespoon ginger, minced
1 Tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch

BEEF STIR-FRY WITH BABY BOK CHOY & GINGER



Beef Stir-Fry with Baby Bok Choy & Ginger image

All the ingredients for this easy beef stir-fry recipe are cooked in one wok (or skillet), so not only is the meal-prep fast for this healthy dinner, cleanup is quick too. Look for Lee Kum Kee Premium oyster-flavored sauce in the Asian-foods aisle of your grocery store. It has the most concentrated oyster flavor.

Categories     Healthy Stir Fry Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces beef flank steak, trimmed
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry sherry plus 1 Tbsp., divided
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce, preferably Lee Kum Kee Premium
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound baby bok choy, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 8 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted chicken broth

Steps:

  • Cut beef with the grain into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine the beef, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tsp. sherry, and cornstarch in a medium bowl; stir until the cornstarch is no longer visible. Add sesame oil and stir until the beef is lightly coated.
  • Combine oyster-flavored sauce and the remaining 1 Tbsp. sherry in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed carbon-steel wok (or a 12-inch stainless-steel skillet) over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in vegetable oil. Add the beef in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until it begins to brown, about 1 minute. Using a metal spatula, stir-fry until lightly browned but not cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add bok choy and broth to the pan. Cover and cook until the bok choy greens are bright green and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef to the pan, add the reserved sauce, and stir-fry until the beef is just cooked through and the bok choy is tender-crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

BABY BOK CHOY WITH YAM AND GINGER



Baby Bok Choy with Yam and Ginger image

As much as I love to cook, I also really enjoy watching other cooks go through their creative process. Recently I was at a conference at the Commonweal Retreat Center, where I was able to observe one of my favorite cooks, Claire Heart. She brought out this dish, and the first thing I noticed was that it had bok choy. Now that's a great vegetable, but it tends to be bitter. She completely solved that problem by pairing it with yams to create a dish that tasted like a vegetarian Chinese Thanksgiving. It was a completely unique and delicious pairing. The colors blew me away as well. I went home and decided to play around with her concept, adding a little ginger for zing and digestion and a few more Asian-style flavors. Thank you, Claire!

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 heads baby bok choy
2 tablespoons light sesame oil
2 scallions, white part only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 cup peeled and finely diced garnet yam
Sea salt
2 tablespoons mirin (optional)
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Trim the bases off the bok choy and discard. Trim the leaves from the stems and cut both crosswise into bite-size pieces, keeping the stems and leaves separate.
  • Heat the light sesame oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the yam and a pinch of salt and sauté for an additional minute. Add the bok choy stems, mirin, and tamari and sauté for 2 minutes more. Add the bok choy leaves, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the toasted sesame oil. Cook until the bok choy is just wilted, about 2 minutes, then do a FASS check and add a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately.
