Instructions
For cooking in a skillet
Heat a wok or frying pan with a touch of cooking oil. Put the bok choy into the hot pan.
Fry while turning until some caramelisation is achieved.
Add the ginger and garlic 10 seconds before adding the water to prevent them from burning or becoming bitter and to get the best taste from them.
Add a touch of water, oyster sauce, sugar and quickly cover with a lid to finish cooking by steaming. About 1 minute.
Remove and add the sesame oil.
For steaming
Simply place a bamboo steamer basket with halved bok choy over a pot of boiling water.
Steam for 2 minutes.
Make the sauce seperately in a pan by bringing to a boil together. Serve on the side.
Notes
For a vegan version replace the oyster sauce with soy sauce.
Best served fresh but can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days sealed airtight.
Not suitable for freezing.
Serve with
fluffy rice
,
miso-glazed eggplant
or Teriyaki
pork loin
.
