SPICY BOK CHOY IN GARLIC SAUCE



Spicy Bok Choy in Garlic Sauce image

Bok Choy is one of my favorite vegetables. It has its own spiciness that is complimented by the sweetness of the sauce in this recipe. I like to serve this with grilled shrimp and steamed rice. For variety, I sometimes add a small amount of lemon zest just before serving.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound bok choy
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Trim off the ends of the bok choy and chop, keeping the white parts separate from the green as they will need to cook longer. Rinse and spin or pat dry. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl or cup, stir together the vegetable oil and sesame oil. In a separate larger bowl, stir together the water, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Set this aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy stems first; stir fry for a few minutes or until the pieces start to turn a pale green. When stems are almost cooked, add the leaves; cook and stir until leaves are wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the bok choy to a serving dish. Pour the sauce into the skillet or wok, and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour over the bok choy and toss lightly to coat.

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
1 1/2 pounds baby bok choy (3- to 4-inch heads), bottoms trimmed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Stir the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sugar in a bowl until well combined; set aside. Wash the bok choy well to remove any grit and drain in a colander, leaving some water clinging to the leaves. Halve any large heads lengthwise.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half each of the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 30 seconds. Add half of the bok choy and stir to coat. Cook until the bok choy is crisp-tender at the stem, 4 to 5 minutes; add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to keep a bit of moisture in the skillet and prevent the garlic from burning. Remove to a platter.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining garlic, ginger and bok choy. When tender, return the first batch of bok choy to the skillet and heat through. Transfer all the bok choy to the platter and drizzle with the sauce.
