BOK CHOY WITH GINGER VINAIGRETTE
The flavor of this was much different than I had expected. You really taste the dijon mustard. I didn't chop up my bok choy just left it in whole leaves and poured the sauce over. I got this on the web and I have only had it warm, but it could be served as a cold side as well.

STEAMED SEA BASS WITH SCALLIONS AND GINGER
Steps:
- Put the fish in a shallow heatproof dish, such as a large baking pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper, inside and out. Disperse the scallions and ginger on top, underneath, and inside the fish. Combine the soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the fish.
- Set a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Fill the pan with water that comes up below the rack. Set the pan over 2 burners and bring the water to a boil. Set the baking dish with the fish on the rack, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the roasting pan tightly with foil. Steam the fish until a small knife or skewer can be easily inserted into the thickest part and the fillet comes off the bone fairly easily, 6 to 7 minutes.

SIMPLY STEAMED ASPARAGUS
Spring is the best time to take advantage of the subtle, grassy taste of fresh asparagus. Once steamed, it goes well with eggs, ham, and cheese, or even more intense flavors, such as soy sauce and ginger.

SPICY BOK CHOY IN GARLIC SAUCE
Bok Choy is one of my favorite vegetables. It has its own spiciness that is complimented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. I like to serve this with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a small amount of lemon zest just before serving.

Steps:
- Trim off the ends of the bok choy and chop, keeping the white parts separate from the green as they will need to cook longer. Rinse and spin or pat dry. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or cup, stir together the vegetable oil and sesame oil. In a separate larger bowl, stir together the water, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Set this aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy stems first; stir fry for a few minutes or until the pieces start to turn a pale green. When stems are almost cooked, add the leaves; cook and stir until leaves are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish. Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok, and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour over the bok choy and toss lightly to coat.

STEAMED ASPARAGUS AND BOK CHOY WITH SOY-GINGER VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Trim asparagus Line up stalks and cut off the tough ends, which are usually white and woody, or snap off ends where they naturally break.
- Prepare steamer Place a bamboo steamer in a large pot or wok. Fill pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a rapid simmer.
- Steam vegetables separately Lay asparagus in the steamer, spreading in an even layer, then cover steamer and cook until asparagus is crisp-tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Asparagus will keep cooking a little after it is taken off the heat, so be careful not to overcook. Steam bok choy in same manner, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Dress and serve Transfer vegetables to a platter and drizzle with some vinaigrette. Serve immediately, or marinate in the vinaigrette for 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor, but the color of asparagus will change.)
Tips:
- Choose the freshest vegetables: Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Bok choy should have crisp, dark green leaves and white stalks.
- Trim the vegetables properly: Cut the tough ends off the asparagus and bok choy. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces and bok choy into 1-inch pieces.
- Steam the vegetables until tender: Steaming is a gentle cooking method that preserves the nutrients and flavor of the vegetables. Steam the asparagus and bok choy for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Make the soy-ginger vinaigrette: While the vegetables are steaming, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, and honey. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Toss the vegetables with the vinaigrette: Once the vegetables are cooked, toss them with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately or chill for later.
