SPICY BOK CHOY IN GARLIC SAUCE
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.

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.

GRILLED BOK CHOY WITH GINGER SCALLION GARLIC OIL
Bok choy is a weeknight veggie staple in our house, and it doesn't take a lot of work to make it taste great. Just throw it in a pan and forget about it while you prep the rest of dinner - the edges get crispy, the innards stay tender, and drizzling it with scallion ginger oil really takes it up a notch.

Steps:
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Steps:
- Rinse the bok choy and cut off the bottom stem part at the base of each head. Separate into individual leaves. If the white sections of these leaves are very wide or large, you can slice them in half lengthwise, or into thirds. Tip: If stir-frying larger bok choy, slice off the green leaf tips. Add the thicker white sections to the wok first, then throw in the leaves at the end (these will cook very fast).
- Mix all the stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a bowl or cup. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high to high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add oil and swirl around.
- Now add the bok choy plus 2-3 tablespoons stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, or until pan/wok starts to become dry.
- Now add another 2-3 tablespoons sauce and continue stir-frying another 2-3 minutes, or until the bok choy is bright green and the white stems are softened but still crunchy.
- Taste-test the bok choy with the sauce. Add more sugar if too sour for your taste, or more lime juice if too salty. Also, fresh minced chili or dried chili can be added if you prefer it spicier. If you prefer more sauce, add a little more, as desired.
- To serve, lift out the bok choy and place on a serving platter or in a serving bowl, then pour the sauce (from the bottom of the wok or pan) over. Serve immediately with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice. ENJOY!

Tips:
- Choose fresh bok choy. Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, and avoid any heads that have yellowing or wilted leaves.
- Wash the bok choy thoroughly. Rinse the bok choy under cold water and separate the leaves from the stems. Cut away any tough or damaged parts.
- Cook the bok choy quickly. Bok choy is a tender vegetable that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it mushy, so stir-fry it for only a few minutes, or steam it for 3-4 minutes.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have on hand. Try adding broccoli, carrots, snow peas, or bell peppers.
- Make sure the garlic sauce is thick enough. The garlic sauce should be thick enough to coat the vegetables. If it's too thin, add a little cornstarch slurry.
- Serve immediately. Bok choy is best served immediately after cooking. This will help it retain its crisp texture and bright flavor.
Conclusion:
This bok choy with vegetables and garlic sauce is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with any meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to get your vegetables, give this recipe a try!
