Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Side dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup Fusia Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce (regular soy sauce is too salty!)
2 tablespoons SimplyNature Organic Wildflower Honey or maple syrup
2 teaspoons arrowroot starch or corn starch
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 large clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (scale back or omit completely if you're sensitive to spice)
1 tablespoon SimplyNature Organic Coconut Oil or your cooking oil of choice
1 small red onion, root and tip ends removed and cut into 1/4-inch thick wedges
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into very thin rounds
Pinch of salt
1/2 bunch (1/2 pound) thin asparagus, tough ends removed and cut into 2-inch long pieces

Steps:

  • In a liquid measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes. Whisk until blended and set aside.
  • Warm the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and carrots and a pinch of salt. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until the onions have softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. (If at any point you catch a whiff of something burning while making this stir-fry, dial back the heat a bit.)
  • Add the asparagus and cook, stirring every 30 seconds, until the carrots are starting to caramelize on the edges and are easily pierced by a fork, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the prepared sauce and cook, while stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened to your liking, about 30 to 60 seconds. Remove from heat and serve as a side dish as-is, or turn it into a main dish by serving it with rice, fried eggs or tofu.

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 teaspoon
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
Serving suggestion: Brown or white rice

Steps:

  • Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips. Toss the strips with about half the garlic and ginger, the soy sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the sherry in a bowl. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with the broth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus, scallions, remaining garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

STIR-FRIED BOK CHOY OR STURDY GREENS



Stir-Fried Bok Choy or Sturdy Greens image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 to 16 ounces bok choy or sturdy greens, like collards, or packaged Southern greens mix
1/4 cup chicken broth, vegetable broth or water
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil
3 garlic cloves, smashed with the flat side of a chef's knife or minced
1 slice ginger, smashed with the flat side of a chef's knife or minced
Salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, to taste

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.

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

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

2 leeks (1/2 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Pinch chile flakes
Salt, as needed

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.

BOK CHOY STIR FRY



Bok Choy Stir Fry image

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.

5 heads baby bok choy, ends trimmed and leaves separated
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook and stir garlic and ginger in hot oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir bok choy into garlic mixture, add water, cover the skillet, and cook until bok choy wilts and is desired texture, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the bok choy, asparagus, and garlic before you start cooking. This will make the stir-fry come together quickly and easily.
  • Use high heat: A hot wok or skillet is essential for a good stir-fry. The high heat will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of vegetables, stir-fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Stir-fried vegetables should be tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add sauce at the end: Add the sauce to the stir-fry just before serving. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.

Conclusion:

This bok choy and asparagus stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of bok choy, asparagus, and garlic is delicious and nutritious. The stir-fry is also low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for those watching their weight.
