LEMON GARLIC SAUTEED BOK CHOY



Lemon Garlic Sauteed Bok Choy image

Looking for a way to serve Bok Choy that I picked up at the grocery store found this on line at inspired taste.net Super simple and taste good too. Guessed at serving size as it depends on the size of your Bok Choy. I didn't have baby bok choy, just regular so cut into large chunks instead of slices and turned out fine

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4 Slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb baby bok choy
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
sea salt
half of a lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Remove any discolored outer stalks of the bok choy and discard them (or save for stock later). Place the bok choy into a colander and rinse with cool water, rubbing any grit or dirt from between the leaves. Trim the ends then slice each bok choy in half lengthwise. Or if they are large, cut into quarters. Pat dry.
  • Add the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes to a wide room temperature skillet. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to bubble around the garlic, but before the garlic starts to turn light brown.
  • Toss in the the boy choy and spread into one layer. Sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt then cook, without stirring, until the bottom is starting to turn brown, about 2 minutes. Flip then cook another 2 minutes or until the green leaves have wilted and the white bottoms are beginning to soften, but still have some crunch.
  • Transfer to a platter then squeeze 2 lemon wedges on top. A teaspoon or so of olive oil is nice, too. Serve with more lemon wedges on the side.

BABY BOK CHOY WITH GARLIC

Baby bok choy have a milder taste than the full-grown deal and are also more tender. I just cook them in some chicken broth and garlic, and serve them with rice and fish. My family enjoys the taste of garlic, so we use quite a bit. Feel free to adjust accordingly.

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.

Provided by Spyce

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bok choy: Look for baby bok choy or small bok choy heads with tender, crisp stalks and dark green leaves.
  • Prepare the bok choy properly: Trim the root end and any tough outer leaves. Cut the bok choy lengthwise into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to quickly cook the bok choy and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the bok choy will not cook evenly.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed bok choy is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Lemon Garlic Sautéed Bok Choy is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
