Smoky Sautéed Baby Bok Choy

from ButterYum

makes 4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce:

    • 2 tablespoons water

    • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

    • 1 tablespoon liquid aminos (or light soy sauce)

Additional Ingredients:

    • 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil

    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    • 1 pound baby bok choy (about 6-inches tall), washed, trimmed, and cut in half lengthwise

Directions

    1. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and set aside.

    2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the prepared baby bok choy, cut side down, for 2-4 minutes, or until they start to caramelize on the edges (cover the pan to help the greens wilt).

    3. Add the sauce ingredients and continue cooking, uncovered, for an addition 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice or noodles.

Note:

    • To substitute full-grown bok choy, separate all the stems, then cut the green leaves from the stalks. Cut the stalks into 1/2-inch wide pieces and sautéed for 4-5 minutes before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
