Steps:
- Over high heat, bring a large stockpot filled with salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Add bok choy to the boiling water. Blanch until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Immediately transfer bok choy to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, and set aside.
- Place ginger and shallots in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in oyster sauce and vinegar. Whisk in 4 tablespoons canola oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. Set aside. (Up to this point, the recipe can be prepared 2 hours ahead.)
- In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil. Whisk in butter, and lower the heat to medium-high. Season bok choy with salt and pepper, and add it to the pan. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil between two 10-inch nonstick skillets. Place skillets over high heat until oil is just smoking. Season both sides of the grouper with salt and pepper. Place two grouper fillets in each skillet, and saute until the fish is browned on the bottom side, about 3 minutes. Turn, and saute about 3 minutes more, until a metal cake tester inserted into the center of the fillets feels hot when touched to your lip. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bok choy from the saucepan, and arrange it in the center of four dinner plates. Top with grouper. Whisk sauce lightly, and spoon it around the bok choy. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sauce, and serve immediately.
STEAMED ASPARAGUS AND BOK CHOY WITH SOY-GINGER VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Trim asparagus Line up stalks and cut off the tough ends, which are usually white and woody, or snap off ends where they naturally break.
- Prepare steamer Place a bamboo steamer in a large pot or wok. Fill pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a rapid simmer.
- Steam vegetables separately Lay asparagus in the steamer, spreading in an even layer, then cover steamer and cook until asparagus is crisp-tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Asparagus will keep cooking a little after it is taken off the heat, so be careful not to overcook. Steam bok choy in same manner, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Dress and serve Transfer vegetables to a platter and drizzle with some vinaigrette. Serve immediately, or marinate in the vinaigrette for 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor, but the color of asparagus will change.)
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger and garlic will give your vinaigrette the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients.
- Adjust the proportions of the ingredients to your taste: If you like a more savory vinaigrette, add more soy sauce or tamari. If you prefer a sweeter vinaigrette, add more honey or maple syrup.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your vinaigrette. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
- Let the vinaigrette rest for at least 30 minutes before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. You can also make the vinaigrette ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Use the vinaigrette on salads, grilled vegetables, or tofu: This versatile vinaigrette can be used on a variety of dishes. It's also great for marinating chicken, fish, or shrimp.
Conclusion:
Soy ginger vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, this vinaigrette is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
