Spicy Garlic Grilled Baby Bok Choy
This recipe came from Sunset magazine.
This recipe from New York Times food writer Melissa Clark was published in Bon Appetit in 2011. Her recipe used mizuna, and I’m substituting arugula in mine.
Not sure which of the choys was in the box, but they all cook pretty similarly. This recipe comes from the “Flat Belly Diet! Cookbook” from Prevention magazine.
This recipe comes from Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
Oops – another recipe adapted from the folks at Prevention magazine …. but this one is great for incorporating lots of lots of vegetables. You can decide how much of your bok choy or Napa cabbage to include – the whole head? half? a quarter?
What are you going to do with that pretty head of bok choy? (Or some choy – I have to confess I cannot tell all those Asian choys apart ….) How about this quick recipe Paige Witherington of Serenbe Farms found on onehungrymama.com?
Is last week’s head of bok choy still sitting in your refrigerator (like mine)? If so, combine it with this week’s and make this dish.
One of the things I do to make a quick stir-fry even quicker is to keep a jar of stir-fry sauce in the refrigerator. You could buy a jar, but why? When you’re ready for dinner, heat up some vegetable oil, sauté your vegetables (this week you could use bok choy, beet greens, thinly sliced beets, onions, garlic and/or squash) and when it’s just about done, add just enough of this sauce to coat everything lightly. The cornstarch will thicken quickly and your stir-fry is done. I love that I don’t have to haul out the ginger and the garlic and the soy sauce and whatever every time I want to make a quick meal. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Vary the proportions to suit the taste of your household.
This is a recipe we ran in the AJC last January. I thought it was absolutely delicious – a nice variation from more traditional chicken soups.
The trick to cooking bok choy is understanding that the thick stems need different treatment from the thin leaves. This recipe takes all that into account.
