Serious Eats Braised Baby Bok Choy with Garlic clove, Ginger root, and Soy Recipe Studying Options: Cooking Mode
Ingredients
- 4 medium or 6 small bok choy
- 4 tablespoons neutral oil, for example grapeseed or canola
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger root, grated on the microplane grater
- 2 medium garlic clove cloves, grated on the microplane grater (a couple of teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup grain wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup dark soy sauce
- 1/4 cup loosely packed brownish sugar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon minced chives
- Hot cooked grain, for serving (optional)
Directions
Soak bok choy inside a large bowl of cold water, swishing to release any grit. Drain, decline in half lengthwise, and dry carefully with sponges. Heat oil inside a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Nederlander oven over high temperature until shimmering. Add halved bok choy, cut side lower, employed in batches if required to prevent crowding pan, and sear until deeply browned, about 6 minutes. Remove to some large plate or sheet pan.
Lower heat to medium and add ginger root and garlic clove, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about thirty seconds. Add water and vinegar and produce to some simmer, stirring and scraping bottom of pan having a wooden spatula or spoon to release any browned bits. After one minute, add soy sauce and brown sugar. Add bok choy to pan and prepare, uncovered, until bok choy foliage is wilted and stems are crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove bok choy to serving platter.
Still prepare liquid in pan over medium heat until it cuts down on to some glaze of preferred consistency, six to eight minutes. Spoon glaze over bok choy and garnish with sesame seeds and chives. Serve with hot cooked grain, if preferred.
