Ina Garten Bok Choy Recipes

BABY BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sugar in a bowl until well combined; set aside. Wash the bok choy well to remove any grit and drain in a colander, leaving some water clinging to the leaves. Halve any large heads lengthwise.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half each of the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 30 seconds. Add half of the bok choy and stir to coat. Cook until the bok choy is crisp-tender at the stem, 4 to 5 minutes; add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to keep a bit of moisture in the skillet and prevent the garlic from burning. Remove to a platter.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining garlic, ginger and bok choy. When tender, return the first batch of bok choy to the skillet and heat through. Transfer all the bok choy to the platter and drizzle with the sauce.

GARLICKY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Preheat 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large pan until rippling. Halve 6 heads baby bok choy lengthwise, keeping the stems and leaves intact, and place in the wok with chopped or sliced garlic and fresh ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant; season with salt.

GRILLED BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Halve 1 pound bok choy lengthwise; microwave, covered, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce with 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon each brown sugar, sesame oil and soy sauce. Toss with the bok choy. Grill until charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side, brushing with any extra sauce.

BABY BOK CHOY WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 heads baby bok choy (halved lengthwise) and cook until browned, 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter, 1 chopped garlic clove and 8 thyme sprigs; remove from the heat. Top with flaky salt.

GRILLED BOK CHOY WITH GINGER SCALLION GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
