How much bacon?
How much bob choy?
What an easy, delicious prep for bok choi! Since there are questions, here’s what worked. Cooked down 1 entire chopped head of bok choi in olive oil (no bacon), and finished by tossing with 10-12 shakes of toasted sesame oil, ~1 to 1.5 tblsp spy sauce and a pinch of kosher salt. We really enjoyed it served with Sam Sifton’s orange chicken.
Looks delicious. After a friend brought a book choy salad to our book club, I make one often. Chop up Shanghai book choy raw, mainly the whites and add just about any fixings you'd put in a slaw or a green salad. Asian flavours, western, whateversuits the moment. It’s like eating a delicate cabbage crossed with celery. And so easy.
Made this last night for dinner using 2 slices thick bacon and some leftover bok choi from a huge head. I also added some fennel and a handful of arugula. I lastly threw in about a teaspoon of black sesame seeds. I didn’t expect much flavor but it was surprisingly delicious!! I cut the veggies in half inch slices and they sautéed together nicely and the bacon was well done and crispy! I will definitely be making this again.
I don't think I used enough sesame oil. Be sure to toss after removed from heat and water removed. Don't cook the bok choy too much.
