Steps:
- Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and honey in a small bowl; set aside.
- Season salmon with 1 tsp. salt. Place on a plate and sprinkle with cornstarch, turning to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook salmon in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over salmon and continue to cook, gently turning salmon halfway through, until sauce is thickened slightly and clinging to salmon, about 1 minute. (Sauce will bubble aggressively when first added and will then calm down.)
- Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Place bok choy in steamer basket, cover pot, and steam until just tender, 5-7 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
- Place rice (if using) and bok choy on a platter. Arrange salmon over and drizzle bok choy and salmon with any remaining sauce in skillet. Top with scallions and sesame seeds.
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.)
STEAMED CHICKEN WITH BLACK MUSHROOMS AND BOK CHOY
Steps:
- Soak shiitakes in boiling-hot water in a bowl until softened, about 30 minutes. Cut out and discard stems, then squeeze excess liquid from caps and discard soaking liquid.
- Hack each chicken thigh crosswise through bone into thirds with cleaver.
- Stir together soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, and salt in a large bowl until smooth, then add chicken, mushroom caps, scallions, and ginger and toss well to coat. Marinate at room temperature, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
- Put rack into wok and add enough water to reach just below it. (If using a steamer insert, use approximately 4 inches of water.) Cover wok (or skillet) and bring water to a boil. Transfer chicken mixture to pie plate and put in wok (or skillet), then steam, covered, stirring once, until chicken is just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- While chicken is steaming, cook bok choy, uncovered, in a 4- to 6-quart pot of (unsalted) boiling water until just tender, 7 to 9 minutes, then drain in a colander.
- Carefully remove pie plate from wok. Arrange bok choy around edge of a large deep platter and spoon chicken and sauce in center.

Steps:
- For the sauce, whisk the honey, chili sauce, black bean sauce, oil, garlic and ginger in a 9 inch baking dish until combined. Add the tofu and marinate for at least 10 minutes, or longer for more flavor. Remove the tofu and scape marinade off. Reserve the marinade!
- Spray a non stick skillet with cooking oil and brown the tofu on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Brush some sauce over the tofu, turn again and brush once more, cooking for 1 more minute. Set aside.
- Warm the remaining sauce in a small skillet over low heat.
- Steam the bok choy just until bright green, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook!
- Place the bok choy on serving plates.
- Top the bok choy with the tofu and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
PAN STEAMED TOFU AND BOK CHOY
This is a very healthy and simple dish that can be made with just a frying pan/skillet with a cover. It really does not matter how much bok choy you use. Measurements should NOT be carefully observed because it really depends on preference. This dish can be served with noodles or rice, depending on what you like. If you're on a low-carb diet, this could serve 2 people. If this is going to be your main dish and you're not having any carbs, try adding some sliced mushrooms with the tofu. This will add some moisture to the pan for steaming too. For the bok choy, I like the baby bok choy because there's no chopping necessary. Larger ones need to be chopped into one-inch pieces. This recipe works with silken soft tofu too but it is more difficult to handle. Sesame oil is optional because it's not a common thing for people to have in their kitchens.

Steps:
- Turn on the burner to low-medium heat.
- When it's hot, pour in the oil(s) and garlic.
- Add the sliced tofu to the pan and drizzle soy sauce over the tofu. The amount really depends on how salty you like your food. Start with 2 Tablespoons and add more later if it's too bland.
- Cover the pan immediately. If the soy sauce evaporates, add some water and cover the pan again. There should be enough water from the tofu to create steam.
- After a minute or two, flip the tofu slices and put all of the bok choy in the pan. Cover again.
- After about 3 minutes, use chopsticks (or a big spoon) to stir the bok choy so that it picks up some soy sauce.
- Cover pan and cook for a few more minutes.
- The dish is ready when the bok choy is wilted.
Tips:
- Choose small to medium-sized bok choy heads with tightly packed leaves. Avoid large heads as they tend to be tough and fibrous.
- Wash the bok choy thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit.
- Trim the root end of the bok choy and remove any wilted or damaged leaves.
- Cut the bok choy into halves or quarters, depending on the size of the heads.
- Use a steamer basket or colander placed over a pot of boiling water to steam the bok choy.
- Cover the pot and steam the bok choy for 3-5 minutes, or until the leaves are bright green and tender.
- Remove the bok choy from the steamer and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve its color.
- Drain the bok choy and pat it dry with paper towels before using it in your recipe.
Conclusion:
Steamed bok choy is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or added to stir-fries, soups, and salads. It is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in a variety of ways, but steaming is one of the best methods to preserve its nutrients and delicate flavor. With its mild flavor and tender texture, steamed bok choy is a great way to add a healthy dose of vegetables to your meal.
