Braised Baby Bok Choy
As I expand my knowledge on Asian dishes and explore a variety of ingredients, I still can’t help but revert back to one of my “tried and true” vegetable side dishes. But to compensate for my sequacious decision, I opted to braise them instead of my usual steaming method.
Ingredients:
| 1 | lb. baby bok choy, washed and dried |
| 1 | Tbsp vegetable oil |
| 1 | Tbsp sesame oil |
| 3 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1/2 | tsp soy sauce |
- In a wok, heat the vegetable and sesame oil. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add bok choy and saute for 3-5 minutes. Remove bok choy and place on serving platter. Keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add soy sauce and saute for 1 minute. Drizzle sauce over the bok choy and serve immediately.

I love that you use asian ingredients — bok choy is the best!

@Joy: I just recently discovered pea shoots so I’ll be posting a recipe for that soon. I’ve been making a lot of Asian food lately!

This is a really great side dish but I really don’t understand the reasoning for sauteing the soy sauce for one minute. In-stead of chopping your garlic, I would also recommend slicing it paper thin for appearance, and taste. ENJOY!!!!! Chef Will
