Asian Bok Choi

Serves 1 - at least if you are Brian Copeland


Ingredients:

• 4 - 6 Heads of Baby Bok Choi
• 1 Tablespoon of Toasted Sesame Oil
• 1 - 3 Cloves of Garlic
  • Based on your love of garlic I mince some cloves and leave some in bigger chunks.
• 2 Tablespoons of Water
• 1 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon of Organic Raw Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon of Chili Sauce as desired
  • I use Chili Garlic Sauce, it comes in a clear container with a green lid. Sriracha brand sauce would work as well. Find both of these in your Asian aisle of your grocery store.
    

Directions:

• Rinse the Bok Choi really well as it tends to be dirty.
  • Immerse fully in a container or sack of water, dump the water and rinse a couple of more times and rinse each leaf.
• Cut diagonally into 1" wide strips
• Heat a pan to medium heat with sesame oil
• Add the garlic and bok choi
• Stir fry about 2 minutes
• Add water, soy sauce, sugar, and chili sauce and cook uncovered so the sauce starts to thicken
• When the bok choi is tender yet still crisp it is done

Serve with a meat dish. If you want leftovers (who wouldn't?) then at least quadruple all of these ingredient amounts.
