Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and light-green parts separated
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and julienned
1 small serrano or jalapeno chile, stemmed and thinly sliced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken-breast halves
2 heads baby bok choy (about 12 ounces), stalks sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces, leaves left whole
3/4 teaspoon fish sauce
Coarse salt
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine broth, water, celery, scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and chile in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add chicken, and cook at a bare simmer until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat reaches 160 degrees, about 13 minutes. Remove chicken from broth. When cool enough to handle, tear into 1-inch pieces and divide among 4 bowls.

CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY SOUP



Chicken and Bok Choy Soup image

I bought bok choy with no idea how to use it. Threw it in a simple chicken and veggie soup, and the family loved it! 4 cans low-sodium chicken broth can be substituted for the 6 cups water and chicken base.

VELVETED CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND BOK CHOY



Velveted Chicken Stir-Fry with Shiitake Mushrooms and Bok Choy image

To up your stir-fry game, here's an old-school technique called "velveting." It's a process that makes your proteins super tender. It's that "slippery" mouthfeel that is synonymous with Chinese takeout. This is a great dish to celebrate the lunar new year, autumn festival or any occasion. You can apply this velveting method to any stir-fry.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons canola oil or other oil for high-heat cooking
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola or other oil for high-heat cooking
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/2-inch thick, or 1 ounce sliced rehydrated dried shiitakes
12 ounces baby bok choy, trimmed of ends and cut into thirds
1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
2 scallions, sliced into 1-inch lengths on the bias
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce
1 teaspoon chicken powder
Pinch white pepper

Steps:

  • For the velveted chicken: Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Add the cornstarch, baking soda, oil, 2 teaspoons of water and a pinch of salt and stir into the chicken until well incorporated. Let marinate at room temperature while you do the knife work for the vegetables. Or cover the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For the stir-fry: When ready to cook, bring about 4 inches water to a boil in a 4- to 6-quart saucepan over high heat. Add the marinated chicken, stirring gently and constantly for about 2 minutes. The chicken will start out pink, turn opaque and white, then float to the top. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon or spider and reserve until it's time to stir-fry. You can also hold the pre-cooked chicken for a few days in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Swirl in the oil then immediately stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Stir in the mushrooms. The mushrooms will sear then start to release their moisture. Cook, stirring every 20 seconds, until the mushrooms look soft and almost ready to eat, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the baby bok choy and bell peppers and stir-fry until they just start to soften and pick up some color, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken, scallions, oyster sauce, mushroom soy sauce, chicken powder and scallions and work all the sauces into the stir-fry, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Give the dish a light dusting with white pepper right before serving.

GLAZED SHIITAKES WITH BOK CHOY



Glazed Shiitakes With Bok Choy image

Gorgeous glazed shiitake mushrooms and tender green bok choy sparked with ginger, sesame and hot pepper work beautifully against more staid flavors, so consider serving them next to a traditional roast chicken or turkey. They also are delicious draped over a pile of rice.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds baby bok choy
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 small dry red Chinese hot peppers
1 pound shiitake mushrooms (about 4 dozen), stems removed
Salt and pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
6 scallions, sliced diagonally, for garnish
1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cut off and discard stem ends of bok choy. Separate leaves, rinse and drain. Drop leaves into boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until barely cooked. Immediately remove, rinse with cool water, drain and pat dry. Arrange leaves in one layer on an ovenproof earthenware platter, then set aside.
  • Put a large wok or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add oil and heat until nearly smoking, then add hot peppers and shiitake caps, stirring to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Reduce heat slightly and add garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oil and tamari. Stir-fry for 1 minute more.
  • Spoon shiitake and pan juices over reserved cooked bok choy. Serve at room temperature, or if you prefer, reheat covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes in a hot oven. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.

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

Number Of Ingredients 13

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
1/2 pound bok choy (1 head), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 leeks (1/2 pound), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Pinch chile flakes
Salt, as needed
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar. Pour half the mixture over the chicken, along with half the ginger and half the garlic. Let stand 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over high heat until extremely hot, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil and the chicken. Cook, stirring constantly, until meat is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining peanut oil to the skillet. Add the bok choy and cook 1 minute. Stir in the leeks and chili flakes; cook, tossing frequently until bok choy and leeks are tender, about 1 minute. 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. Serve immediately, over rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: To ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process, prepare all the ingredients and have them within reach before you start cooking.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, make sure you don't overcrowd it. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in a watery soup.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or soy sauce until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs like cilantro or scallions for an extra pop of flavor and color.
