Bok Choy, Potato and Onion Side Dish image

Not a stir-fry! East meets West in a simple side dish using bok choy given "body" with chopped potatoes, onions, and a little extra flavour. This is a very basic way of using Oriental cabbages other than in a stir-fry with soy sauce. The dish can be considerably enhanced if chopped bacon is added with the onion, and you might also want to up the spices by adding a chopped, seeded hot pepper or black pepper. Very tasty, and you'll never wonder whether to use those white ribs again: they are very useable!!

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 red onion
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
1 head bok choy (Oriental cabbage)
1 teaspoon flaked sea salt

Steps:

  • Peel and chop onion. Cut off only the root end off the bok choy, then separate the leaves, and wash thoroughly, as soil often sticks to the thick white stems.
  • Peel potatoes and chop, and prepare ginger and garlic.
  • Fry the onions in the oil, stirring, over high heat until they soften, then add the balsamic vinegar and stir. (Add a little more oil if necessary).
  • Add the chopped potatoes. Lower heat, but stir frequently to prevent sticking. After about 5 minutes add the ginger, garlic and salt.
  • Slice the bok choy from the stem parts to the green leaves, including all the white stems. Add to the pan. Stir, add the salt, and let saute without a lid for a while to prevent liquid forming.
  • After about 10 minutes turn heat to low and put on a lid at an angle. Gently fry until the vegetables are cooked, but it's nice if the bok choy stems are slightly al dente still.
  • As suggested: although this dish is quite flavourful as a side dish, you could add chopped bacon and a number of other ingredients, even mature cheese strewn over when it's cooked. Add black pepper or nutmeg, to taste.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll drain the vegetables more thoroughly next time.

This dish was too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of bok choy, but I loved this dish. The bok choy was roasted to perfection and had a slightly sweet flavor. The potatoes and onions were also delicious. I will definitely be making this dish again.
