BABY BOK CHOY WITH BACON, ONION AND BUTTER BEANS



Baby Bok Choy with Bacon, Onion and Butter Beans image

When you see bok choy you might think stir-fry, but we here treat it like a hearty green, wilting it and softening it in bacon drippings. Then we add big, creamy butter beans and a splash of vinegar. Serve it right out of the pan or at warm room temperature. And if you have it on hand...stir fresh corn kernels in with the beans.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 4 ounces)
1 pound baby bok choy (about 4 heads)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
One 15-ounce can butter beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. While the bacon cooks, cut the stems from the bok choy into 1-inch pieces and the leafy tops into 3-inch pieces.

  • Prepare the bok choy properly: Cut off the root end of the bok choy and separate the leaves from the stalks. Rinse the leaves and stalks thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces and chop the leaves.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crispy and browned. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the bok choy: Add the bok choy stalks to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the bok choy leaves and cook until they are wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Season the bok choy: Season the bok choy with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
