• Recipe: Seasoned Bok Choy

    Seasoned Bok Choy

    One the newest vegetables our family has gotten hooked on is Bok Choy!  It was first given to us their our Community Supported Agriculture group and after cooking it a few different ways we decided it was one we wanted to eat more often.  Jake came up with a couple different recipes that our whole family enjoys.  Our favorite way to eat Bok Choy is grilled, but over the winter since it was cooler and we weren’t grilling as much he came up with another tasty recipe.

    Seasoned Bok Choy:

    • 12 fresh Bok Choy Leaves
    • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
    • 1/2 Onion
    • 1/2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
    • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic (or 1 clove)
    • 1/4 teaspoon Sesame Seeds

    Remove the bok choy leaves from the stock.  Rinse and cut up into about 1 inch lengths.  Fill a bowl full of ice and water then place the leaves inside the bowl to cool.  In a pan begin to heat up the olive oil on medium after a minute add the onions and garlic.  Saute the onions for a couple minutes then add the cooled bok choy and soy sauce for about a minute just enough to make the leaves more tender and blend the flavor.  Remove from heat and stir in the sesame seeds.
