HOW TO SAUTE BOK CHOY

2015-07-24 10.48.50Do you know how to Saute Bok Choy? I haven’t ever made this before and I regret that because it is delicious and EASY! Bok choy is a Chinese cabbage and not as popular as the cabbage typically found at markets (red, green, etc.); however, it’s a health food superstar that has the potential to reduce inflammation.

Bok choy is the perfect vegetable for a healthy side dish. This easy recipe is flavored with garlic, ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Ingredients (9)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (from 1/2-inch piece)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 pounds bok choy (about 2 medium bunches), cleaned, ends trimmed, and cut on the bias into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• Salt (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large frying pan with a tightfitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the bok choy and, using tongs, fold it into the garlic-ginger mixture until coated, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and water, cover, and cook until steam accumulates, about 1 minute. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are just wilted, the stalks are just fork tender but still crisp, and most of the water has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat, stir in the sesame oil, and season with salt if desired.
