This is a wonderful side dish for an Asian style entree. Bok choy has a wonderful, crisp texture that is reminiscent of celery. You can easily add shrimp or chicken to make a main dish, but I recommend doubling the sauce if you do so. Simple and yummy:)

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY



Stir-Fried Chicken and Bok Choy image

No need for a wok here. You can use a flat-bottomed skillet or sauté pan instead, the bigger the better. You want as much surface area as possible to get as hot as possible, so preheat the pan for at least five minutes before adding the oil. There should be a forbidding amount of smoke when the ingredients hit the pan (open the windows and turn on the fan before you start). That will give you the deepest sear. Stir-fries are infinitely variable, and you can change up this recipe by using beef or pork, and other green vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, spinach or thinly sliced green beans) substitute nicely for the bok choy. Make a version of this dish once or twice and you'll have a reliable and delicious alternative to takeout.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2 to 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
3/4 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 tablespoons finely chopped gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 pound bok choy (1 head), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 leeks (1/2 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Pinch chile flakes
Salt, as needed
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar. Pour half the mixture over the chicken, along with half the ginger and half the garlic. Let stand 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over high heat until extremely hot, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil and the chicken. Cook, stirring constantly, until meat is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining peanut oil to the skillet. Add the bok choy and cook 1 minute. Stir in the leeks and chili flakes; cook, tossing frequently until bok choy and leeks are tender, about 1 minute. Stir in the marinade and a pinch of salt. Move vegetable mixture to the border of the pan. Add remaining ginger and garlic to center of pan and cook, mashing lightly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return chicken to skillet and combine with ginger, garlic, and vegetables. Serve immediately, over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh bok choy: Look for bok choy with crisp, deep green leaves and white, firm stalks.
  • Wash the bok choy thoroughly: Rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the bok choy into bite-sized pieces: Cut the bok choy lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into 2-3 pieces.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to quickly cook the bok choy and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Add the bok choy to the wok or skillet last: This will help to ensure that the bok choy remains crisp and tender.
  • Stir-fry the bok choy for a short time: Bok choy only needs to be stir-fried for a few minutes, or until it is tender and slightly wilted.
  • Season the bok choy to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, or other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the bok choy immediately: Bok choy is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Bok choy stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, bok choy stir-fry is sure to become a family favorite.
