BABY BOK CHOY WITH GARLIC

Baby bok choy have a milder taste than the full-grown deal and are also more tender. I just cook them in some chicken broth and garlic, and serve them with rice and fish. My family enjoys the taste of garlic, so we use quite a bit. Feel free to adjust accordingly.

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.

Tips:

  • Prep your baby bok choy properly: Trim the ends, remove any wilted or discolored leaves, and wash thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, crisp baby bok choy and aromatic garlic cloves make all the difference in the flavor of this dish. Opt for organic or locally-sourced produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the baby bok choy, make sure to give each piece enough space in the pan to cook evenly and develop a nice sear.
  • Cook on high heat: High heat helps to quickly sear the baby bok choy, preserving its鮮green color and locking in its crisp-tender texture.
  • Add a splash of liquid: A small amount of liquid, such as water or broth, helps to prevent the baby bok choy from burning and adds a touch of flavor.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season the baby bok choy with salt, pepper, or other seasonings to enhance its natural flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as cilantro or chives, adds a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor to the finished dish.
