STIR FRIED BOK CHOY WITH TOFU PUFFS
A super quick and easy stir fried bok choy with tofu puffs that only uses five ingredients and takes 15 minutes to prep and cook. The crisp bok choy is lightly caramelized and combined with tender tofu in a savory and slightly sweet sauce. It is surprisingly satisfying to eat as a side dish, and sometimes I serve it as a light main dish for lunch over steamed rice. {Vegan, Gluten-Free Adaptable}To make the dish gluten-free, use tamari to replace light soy sauce.

BOK CHOY STIR FRY
This quick and easy recipe for bok choy stir fry goes nicely with any meat. I like to add 1/4 teaspoon chicken soup base (such as Penzey's®) to the hot bok choy. You can substitute 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger for the fresh ginger, if desired.

STIR-FRIED BOK CHOY OR STURDY GREENS
This recipe works equally well with bok choy or sturdy greens, both of which have tough ribs and leaves that have a cruciferous flavor. I steam them for a minute before stir-frying so the leaves won't be too tough.

Steps:
- If using bok choy, trim off the bottoms and separate into stalks. Rinse if necessary and drain on paper towels. Cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. If using collard greens, stem, discard stems and chop the leaves coarsely. Bring an inch of water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer, and place the bok choy or greens in the steamer basket. Steam 1 minute, remove from the heat and rinse with cold water. Squeeze out excess water and drain on a kitchen towel.
- Combine the broth or water, rice wine or sherry, soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl and place within arm's reach of your pan. Have the remaining ingredients measured out and near the pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 10 seconds, until fragrant. Add the bok choy or greens, sprinkle with salt and the sugar, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Stir the cornstarch mixture and swirl into the wok, then stir-fry 1 minute, or until the greens are just tender. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Remove from the heat and serve.

SPICY STIR-FRIED TOFU WITH BOK CHOY OR BABY BROCCOLI
This is a really basic stir-fry that I found on nytimes.com "recipes for health". Simple flavors, few ingredients, healthy.... I like to serve this over quinoa but you could use rice or noodles with equal success. When browning the tofu, I add some extra chili paste and fresh ginger to the pan for flavor. After it's done and draining on paper towels, I sprinkle it with some kosher salt. The result is far from bland tofu! It's also good to keep some extra soy sauce and hot sauce on the table so that eaters can season to taste. Also, freezing tofu and then thawing it before you cut it up gives it a chewier firmer texture that I really enjoy.... Cheers to healthy eating!

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok, and stir-fry the tofu until lightly colored. Remove from the heat, and drain on paper towels. (See description for flavoring ideas).
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, then add the red pepper. Stir fry for three minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and the light part of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 15 seconds, then add the bok choy or baby broccoli.
- Stir-fry for about one minute, until coated with oil and beginning to wilt, and add the water. Cook, stirring, until the water evaporates, about two to three minutes, and stir in the tofu, the soy sauce and chili paste. (I had a hard time evaporating the water and ended up pouring it out of the pan before adding the soy, chili paste, and tofu.).
- Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the ingredients are well seasoned. Remove from the heat, sprinkle on the green part of the scallions (and maybe sesame seeds) and serve.
Tips:
- Select the freshest vegetables: Look for bok choy and mizuna with crisp, deep-green leaves and firm stems. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves.
- Prep your tofu properly: To get the best texture, press the tofu before cooking to remove excess water. You can do this by wrapping it in a few layers of paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the ingredients from sticking and will give the dish a nice smoky flavor.
- Cook over high heat: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so it's important to cook over high heat to get the best results. This will help to sear the tofu and vegetables and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the wok: If you overcrowd the wok, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
- Stir constantly: Stirring constantly will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking and will help to evenly distribute the heat.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried bok choy and mizuna with tofu is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of bok choy, mizuna, and tofu provides a variety of flavors and textures, and the dish is packed with nutrients. This dish is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
