This week, Bok Choy is on sale for $.99/pound. I saw this and decided to give it a try. I had never cooked the stuff before and I had no clue how to even approach it, so I turned to Google! It was as simple as typing "Bok Choy recipes" in the search bar and picking one that looked good to me.
Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Garlic
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chopped fresh bok choy, leafy parts as well as the stalks
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce (I had to add more since I needed some for the quinoa too)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Roughly 1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add bok choy and soy sauce cook 3 to 5 minutes, until greens are wilted and stalks are crisp-tender. Stir in cooked quinoa and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
I had set chicken breasts out so I cooked them up as well. I seasoned them with a little freshly ground black pepper and a little garlic and onion powders. After the chicken had been cooking on its 2nd side for a little bit, I poured a little soy sauce/sesame oil mixture over them to glaze them a little bit.
In hind sight, I should have just left the chicken alone because it ended up being a little soy sauce overkill.
You live and you learn!
Overall, it was pretty delicious! I will be cooking Bok Choy again... and google will be helping me ;).
