Braised Bok Choy
Fast, easy, and perfect alongside any main, this braised bok choy is almost unbelievably buttery and tender.
Ingredients
- 250 grams bok choy
For the Sauce (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil
- 3 cloves garlic sliced
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- 3 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon light soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Prepare 250 grams bok choy by cutting off the hard ends, separating the leaves, and then thoroughly cleaning the greens of any grit or dirt.
- Heat 1 teaspoon neutral oil in a large wok over medium-high flame.
- Add 3 cloves garlic (sliced) and stir-fry until aromatic.
- Next, add ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ½ teaspoon white sugar, 3 tablespoon water, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon light soy sauce, and ¼ teaspoon white pepper to the wok. This is your braising liquid.
- Add the bok choy to the braising liquid.
- Cook uncovered for a few minutes. The bok choy should become beautifully tender, with wilted leaves.
- Serve immediately. If there is leftover braising liquid, reduce it in the wok, then pour over the bok choy to make it extra juicy.
Notes
Any variety of bok choy will do; baby bok choy, regular bok choy, dwarf bok choy, or even mature bok choy (although it may need to be cut).
