Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Vegetables     Bok Choy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds baby bok choy (8 to 10), halved lengthwise and soaked in cold water to remove any dirt
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add bok choy (in two batches, if necessary), and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander; let stand at least 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Meanwhile, cook ginger and garlic in oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until ginger and garlic are soft, about 8 minutes. Add tamari and oyster sauce; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 30 seconds more. Pour sauce over bok choy; toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and ensure that your dish comes together smoothly.
  • Don't Overcook the Bok Choy: Bok choy cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Adjust the Heat to Your Liking: This recipe calls for medium-high heat, but you can adjust it to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, use medium heat. If you like your food spicy, use high heat.
  • Add More Vegetables: Feel free to add more vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or snap peas.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: This dish is delicious served with rice or noodles. It's also great as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish.
