Bok choy hosts a number of vitamins such as A, C, B, and also contains a high amount of fibre, antioxidants and some calcium! This is a simple, and healthy dish that can be made in ten minutes.
For 3 servings.
5 bok choy heads, rinsed and cut in quarters
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 scallion, chopped
1 teaspoon ginger, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 long chilly pepper, chopped
drizzle of sesame oil
2 table spoons vegetable oil
Water for steaming
Place bok choy in a steamer, and steam for five minutes over boiling water. In the mean time, prepare the garlic sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat, add garlic, ginger, chilly pepper and sauté for two minutes .
Arrange the bok choy on a plate and drizzle the garlic sauce overtop, along with soy sauce and sesame oil. You can optionally serve this over vermicelli for a more substantial meal.
I voted even before I read the recipe. I adore bok choi!
Is there a reason why you steam it instead of sauteeing it with the sauce? That's how I usually prep it, but if steamed is healthier, I may just do that at some point.
I say yes to the vermicelli. It's so versatile, simple and tasty!
Vote no 4. Mmmm, it sounds wonderful. Another Indonesian or Thai speciality?
Vote #5! The garlic in the dish is also nutritious!
Yeah, steaming is healthier, however, this would be amazing fried in garlic. I will try frying it next time.
Sounds great! Vote #10! If you'd like, go check out my Grapeseed Oil Salad Dressing and Almondaise recipes.
