1 1/4 cups white rice
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger

BABY BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE



Baby Bok Choy With Oyster Sauce image

This is among the easiest, most flavorful preparations of greens imaginable, and it pairs beautifully with almost any vaguely Asian roasted meat or fish. It is also exceptional on its own, with rice. You could swap out the bok choy for broccoli, if that's all you have, or chard, or beet greens.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
Pinch of sugar

Provided by Alexa Weibel

Categories     dinner, weekday, grains and rice, vegetables, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups cooked, day-old jasmine rice (or 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice; see Tip)
5 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
3/4 pound mixed fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake and cremini, thinly sliced, or whole shimeji mushrooms
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 pound baby bok choy (about 8 small baby bok choy), trimmed, then sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick
5 scallions, trimmed, greens and whites thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
3/4 cup frozen peas
2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from one 2-inch piece)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Take the cooked rice out of the refrigerator, and set it aside at room temperature.
  • In a large wok or nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil over medium-high. Add the mushrooms, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5 or 6 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Wipe out the skillet, if needed, then add 1 tablespoon canola oil and heat over medium-high. Add the bok choy, scallions, garlic and jalapeño, if using. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry, stirring frequently, until aromatic and barely crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the mushrooms.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and toothsome, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the frozen peas, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper (if using), and stir until rice is evenly coated in soy sauce mixture, and no uncoated rice grains remain, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the mushroom and bok choy mixture and the basil until basil is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper then divide among bowls; serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice: Short-grain rice, such as Japanese or Korean rice, is best for steamed rice because it has a sticky texture that helps to hold the rice together.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This helps to remove the starch from the rice, which can make it gummy.
  • Use the correct water-to-rice ratio: For steamed rice, the general rule of thumb is 1 cup of rice to 1 1/4 cups of water.
  • Cook the rice in a steamer: A steamer is the best way to cook steamed rice because it allows the rice to cook evenly without getting mushy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb all of the water and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Steamed rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is a healthy and affordable option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect steamed rice every time.
