Steamed Pak Choi Recipes

STEAMED BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, bring water to a boil. Add bok choy. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover; cook over high heat until pan is dry, 2 to 4 minutes. Add vegetable oil and garlic clove; cook, tossing often, until garlic is fragrant, 2 minutes. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.

STEAMED PAK CHOI

Steps:

• Cut 3 heads of pak choi in half lengthways. Steam for 3 mins or until just wilted. Dress with some sliced red chilli if you like, or if you're cooking the twice cooked sticky duck recipe, dress with the simmered stock.

STEAMED BASS WITH PAK CHOI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients, except the fish and the pak choi, together to make a soy mix. Line one tier of a two-tiered bamboo steamer loosely with foil. Lay the fish, skin side up, on the foil and spoon over the soy mix. Place the fish over simmering water and throw the pak choi into the second tier and cover it with a lid. Alternatively, add the pak choi to the fish layer after 2 mins of cooking - the closer the tier is to the steam, the hotter it is.
• Leave everything to steam for 6-8 mins until the pak choi has wilted and the fish is cooked. Divide the greens between two plates, then carefully lift out the fish. Lift the foil up and drizzle the tasty juices back over the fish.

STEAMED FISH & PAK CHOI PARCELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place each fillet in the centre of a large square of foil. Top with the pak choi, spring onions, chilli and ginger, then pull up the edges of the foil.
• Mix together the soy sauce, lime juice and 1 tbsp of water then spoon a little over each fillet. Crimp the top of the foil to enclose the fish and make sure there are no gaps for the steam to escape.
• Place the parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 mins until the fish is cooked through (this will depend on the thickness of your fish). Open up the parcels and drizzle over a few drops of sesame oil. Serve with rice.
