Jamie Oliver Pak Choi Recipes

BEEF WITH SOY SAUCE AND GINGER

Steps:

• On a very hot griddle pan, cook your seasoned piece of sirloin steak until medium or to your liking. Place in a plate and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
• Now cook your greens in salted boiling water until tender.
• While hot, douse with a good couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, and sprinkle with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime juice and olive oil.
• When the greens are cooked, simply divide onto two plates, thinly slice up the sirloin steaks, place on top of the greens and drizzle with any of the infused sauce left on the resting plate.

PAN-FRIED DUCK BREAST WITH PAK CHOI & ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Score the skin of the duck breast at 2cm intervals, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Place the duck skin-side down in a cold non-stick frying pan, then turn the heat on to medium-high. Cook for 8 minutes without moving it, or until the fat is well rendered and the skin is golden and crispy.
• Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the ginger and garlic, finely slice the chilli. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus.
• Turn the duck over and cook for 4 minutes on the other side, then remove to a plate to rest, leaving the pan of duck fat on the heat.
• Sprinkle the ginger, garlic and chilli into the hot pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp, stirring regularly. Alongside, blanch or steam the pak choi and asparagus for 2 minutes.
• Mix the soy sauce and rice vinegar together in a small bowl to make a dressing, adding any resting juices from the duck.
• Slice the cooked vegetables in half lengthways and arrange on a serving platter. Slice the duck into thin pieces at an angle and arrange over the top. Spoon over the dressing and sprinkle over the crispy ginger, garlic and chilli, to finish.

BEEF WITH PAK CHOI, MUSHROOMS AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Boil the kettle and soak the noodles in the boiling water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, rub the beef with olive oil, sprinkle with the cumin and a small pinch of salt and rub all over.
• Place in a really hot frying pan and sear on all sides. Add the onion, ginger and chilli and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the mushrooms, stock and pak choi.
• Drain the noodles and add them to the pan. Stir around, and correct the seasoning. Slice up the beef and serve the noodles and pak choi in a big bowl, with the beef slices on top. Pour over the broth from the pan.

TERIYAKI STEAK WITH PAK CHOI & NOODLES

Steps:

• Mix the five-spice with 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and rub into the steaks. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the steak for 4-5 mins each side or until done to your liking. Transfer to a warmed plate, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest.
• Pour the remaining oil into the pan, add the pak choi, the carrot and pepper. Stir-fry for 3 mins, then add the noodles and stir-fry for 2 mins more.
• Pour in the teriyaki sauce and simmer for a few secs, then divide the vegetable noodles between 2 warmed plates or shallow bowls. Slice the steak thickly and place on top.
