Chinese Style Baby Bok Choy With Mushroom Sauce Recipes

GARLIC BABY BOK CHOY STIR FRY

Steps:

• Trim the bottoms off of each bundle of bok choy, and split them in half or quarters. Just make sure all of the pieces are relatively uniform so they cook evenly. You can leave them whole if they're very small and tender.
• Wash thoroughly with cold water two to three times. These days, we're never too cautious about making sure all of the dirt and pesticides are rinsed away. The best method is to use a large basin or sink to rinse and swirl around the vegetables letting them soak for a few minutes before draining and washing again. Shake off the excess water after the final rinse and transfer to a colander to drain. It is important to drain the vegetables well since these veggies will release quite a bit of water during the cooking process.
• Heat the wok over high heat until smoking, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Swirl around the oil so the wok is coated. Add all of the garlic and immediately add the bok choy. Move quickly to stir and sauté the greens in the oil and garlic. Stir quickly so you don't burn the garlic!
• Use a folding motion to turn the vegetables or use tongs if that is easier. Once the vegetables begin to wilt, about 30 seconds, add salt, pepper, and sugar. How long you cook them from here is all personal preference. Judy likes to cook them a bit longer for a softer texture while I like them a little bit more crisp. Plate and serve immediately.

VEGAN BRAISED CHINESE MUSHROOMS AND BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine oyster or stir-fry sauce, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, vegetable broth and rice wine or sherry. Mix well, and reserve.
• Fill a large pot about three-quarters full of water, and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a skillet large enough to hold all the mushrooms in one snug layer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add reserved sauce, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, turning mushrooms over once or twice. If the pan becomes dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
• In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 2 teaspoons water, and mix well. Add to the mushrooms. Stir gently for 30 seconds, until mushrooms are glossy. Cover, and turn off heat. Add the baby bok choy to the boiling water, and blanch until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain well and arrange on a platter with the leaves pointed toward the center. Place the mushrooms in the center, and garnish with chopped scallions. If desired, serve with rice.

Steps:

• Clean baby bok choy in cold water several times to get out the sand/dirt. You can slice the vegetable in half length-wise if you like.
• heat oil over medium heat in skillet. (very briefly if using sesame oil since this burns quickly).
• If you are using fresh garlic instead of garlic salt, add to oil now.
• Add baby bok choy to skillet, stirring constantly, about 1 min until leaves are coated with oil and beginning to wilt.
• Add chicken broth and cover pan.
• Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork - if it can pierce the white thick part of the stalk without much resistance it is ready.
• Remove from heat, add garlic salt.
• When transferring to serving dish, you can move some of the broth but don't take the bottom bits since this may have residual sand.
