A stir-fry is great for a quick weeknight dinner -- to make the meal even speedier, cut the cauliflower and bok choy ahead of time, devein and peel the shrimp, and have it all ready to go in the refrigerator. You could serve this dish over brown rice, but the starchlike texture of the cauliflower makes it more than able to stand alone.

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.

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.

SPICY SHRIMP AND BOK CHOY STIR FRY (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 1)



Spicy Shrimp and Bok Choy Stir Fry (South Beach Diet Phase 1) image

From new book. Haven't tried. Chili-garlic sauce is a common Asian ingredient that brings a tangy hot flavor to any dish. It can be used both for cooking and as a condiment when you want a little extra heat. Look for brands with no sugar added in the Asian section of the supermarket.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced but kept separate
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 lbs bok choy, sliced crosswise
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce

Steps:

Tips for a Perfect Spicy Cauliflower, Bok Choy, and Shrimp Stir-Fry with Coconut:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, prepare all of your ingredients and have them within reach. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Choose Fresh Vegetables: Use fresh cauliflower, bok choy, and shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the Vegetables Evenly: Cut the cauliflower, bok choy, and shrimp into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will allow you to stir-fry the vegetables and shrimp quickly and easily.
  • Heat the Wok or Skillet Over High Heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the vegetables and shrimp.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Wok or Skillet: Cook the vegetables and shrimp in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok or skillet. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Stir-Fry Quickly: Stir-fry the vegetables and shrimp for only a few minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the Sauce: Add the coconut milk sauce to the wok or skillet and stir to coat the vegetables and shrimp.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish the stir-fry with chopped cilantro or green onions and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This spicy cauliflower, bok choy, and shrimp stir-fry with coconut is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
