One of the healthiest vegetables in the world is bik choy.Boc choy is rich in vitamins A, C, and K as well as Omega 3s and has anti-Inflammatory benefits.The centerpiece of a good meal is bok choy.
Step 1: Buy bright, firm bok choy to eat raw.
It's great to eat bhucho raw, especially with the right combinations in a salad.If you're going to eat raw bok choy, buy small and bright colored ones.The young bok choy is tender and delicious.The limpness of most bok choy is not necessarily a sign of quality.It's a good idea to avoid soft ones with brownness.
Step 2: Remove the stem from the bottom.
Each boy will have a small head of lettuce.Remove the bottom stem end to start preparing a salad.This will allow you to examine, clean, and prepare individual leaves.The tender inside the leaves should not be thrown away.Those are the best parts of the bok choy.Make sure to save the inside, because the outside and the greenest parts tend to be bitter.
Step 3: Remove the leaves.
Sometimes a little dirt can get stuck inside the boy choy, so it's a good idea to rinse them all individually.If you want, you can run them under the water or put them in a colander.You can use a salad spinner to dry them.
Step 4: Cut the leaves to the desired thickness.
Depending on the kind of salad you want to make, you can chop the leaves roughly, leave them whole, or chop them very finely.If you chop the salad leaves finely, the dressing will mask the bitterness of the greens.For a good salad, use about 2 heads of medium bok choy.
Step 5: You can mix other greens.
It's not usually eaten as a salad by itself, but it pairs well with other leafy green vegetables.Use a basic mixed-green package or salad mix that you enjoy to add some bok choy to, or pair with any of the following greens.
Step 6: Top with a vinaigrette
You can use any kind of oil-based dressing that you like.If you want to mix one up yourself, try whisking together the following ingredients until smooth.
Step 7: Pair with grilled steak
The salad is topped with grilled steak.After grilling the steak, slice it thinly and top the salad with it.The combination is great.Fried tofu can be used in the same way if you don't eat meat.
Step 8: The bok choy needs to be washed.
Remove the hard stem ends and separate the individual leaves to stir fry bok choy.Prepare the skillet for stir-frying by drying them thoroughly.
Step 9: Peel garlic or ginger.
Boc choy can be added to any basic mix of vegetables and meat.If you want to feature it as a dish by itself, the best additions are garlic and ginger, which help to highlight and lift the flavors of the bok choy.Use a half-inch piece of ginger to grate it.It is possible to chop it, but grating it will break up the fibers and make it more appetizing.If you don't want big pieces, slice two cloves of garlic thinly.
Step 10: Cook oil in a skillet or wok.
The skillet should be put on the heat.If you want to cook garlic and ginger quickly, add it to the skillet at the beginning and let it heat up gently.When you can smell the garlic and ginger, add the bok choy.
Step 11: The bok choy should be thrown in the oil for 15 seconds.
It will cook very quickly and can become over cooked.If you want to cook it more thoroughly, cover it with fragrant oil and then add some cooking liquid.The bok choy leaves might brown and curl at the green edges at high temperature.That's a positive sign.This dish will taste bitter if the garlic and ginger don't burn.
Step 12: Cook for one minute with a cup of liquid.
White wine and chicken stock are excellent cooking liquids for bok choy.Allow the mixture to cook for about a minute while you cover the lid.Add a cup of cooking liquid for every pound of bok choy you add.
Step 13: The sesame oil and salt will make you want to eat it.
After about a minute, check the leaves for redness.If there is extra liquid in the skillet, cook it off.Then serve in a bowl and top with salt and sesame oil.You can serve it with steamed rice.Red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, peanut, Sriracha hot sauce, and Hoisin sauce are some of the other flavors you could add.
