Bok Choy Stir Fry

We love stir fry and eat it probably at least once a week. We make it differently every time, and the final result depends on what fresh veggies we have available on the day we’re making it. The bok choy stir fry Kemal made this evening was wonderful!!

It’s very healthy for you and easy to make. And you don’t need any special stir fry sauces to make it. We normally just use regular soy sauce or teriyaki sauce, but tonight we used a pre-packaged sauce because we got it fairly cheap with a coupon. :)

Anyway, this recipe is quite versatile. You can add in some fresh ginger, cashews, or water chestnuts. I also like a little fruit in mine and sometimes like to add canned pineapple chunks to the mix. It’s really good like that. :)

One thing to keep in mind is that certain vegetables requires different cooking times. Cauliflower and broccoli, for example, will take longer to cook than zucchini and peppers. So when you’re making a stir fry, don’t fry everything together if some of your vegetables are long-cook items and some are short-cook items. Otherwise, you’ll end up with some vegetables being overcooked and some being undercooked.

The vegetables in Kemal’s bok choy stir fry all took about the same time to cook so he just fried everything together. :)

Bok Choy Stir Fry


Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients:

Note: You can use a bottle of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce instead of the package of Simply Asia stir fry sauce if you don’t have that available.

Instructions:

  • Place the rice and water in a medium sized pot and cook over medium heat uncovered until the water starts to boil.
  • Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to simmer and then cover the rice. Do not stir the rice while it’s simmering.
  • After the rice has simmered for 20 minutes, it should be done, so remove it from the heat and set it aside.
  • In the meantime, peel the garlic, leaving the cloves whole.
  • Peel and dice the onion.
  • Wash the leeks and bok choy, cutting the thick stems off the bok choy.
  • Heat the oil, and then fry the garlic, onion, leeks, and bok choy until all the vegetables are soft.
  • After the vegetables are soft, mix in the stir fry sauce.
  • Place a scoop of rice on a plate and cover it with the stir fry vegetables. Enjoy! :)
