Easy Sauteed Bok Choy
This week, all shares inlcude one of our favorite veggies: bok choy. This Chinese cabbage is ridiculously healthy and nutritious; one half cup of raw bok choy, which is approximately 56 grams, contains only 10 calories. Additionally, bok choy contains no fat or cholesterol and is a good source of calcium (hear that, nursing moms?). It is also low in sodium and high in vitamins C and A. And, it's just plain YUMMY. Bok choy is delicious steamed, in soups, raw in salads, or, in our favorite preparation -- a garlicky stir fry.
Sure, this recipe is nothing fancy... but it's fast, easy, and oh so tasty.
Ingredients
1 head bok choy, sliced, both white and green parts
1/3 cup onion, diced
1/2 tablespoon grated gingerroot
2 cloves garlic, crushed (or more, if you love garlic like we do!)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup chicken or veggie broth
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
1. Rinse and drain bok choy and set aside.
2. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger in olive oil and sesame oil until onion is tender.
3. Add remaining ingredients and sauté for about 8 minutes.
That's it. Three steps. Thank us later.
