Home Styled Bok Choy Recipe: Tasty Good and Good For You

Bok Choy Stir Fry Recipe

Bok Choy, otherwise known as White Chinese Cabbage, is certainly not a stranger to Chinese cuisine. Walk into any Chinese restaurant and you’ll find Bok Choy complimenting most of the dishes on the menu.  Originally grown by the Yangtze River during the Ming Dynasty, Bok Choy has made its way throughout the decades to China, Korea, Japan, and North America. Originally known for its nutritional value and resistance to cold, Bok Choy nowadays is not only loved for its health perks, but also for its fresh natural taste that goes well with many stir fried dishes. This tasty plant is not only jam packed with vitamins, but also has a uniquely fresh and slightly sweet taste that will make you excited to eat your vegetables. The best part is that Bok Choy is extremely low maintenance, easy to cook, and convenient to storage. Here’s a home styled recipe from my childhood that will allow you to whip up a fabulous plate of stir fry in under 30 mins. Plus, all you’ll need is some salt, sugar, pepper, and chicken broth. Too good to be true? Try it out for yourself.

Ingredients

1. Bok Choy (1 ½ lb.)
2. Chicken (1 lb.)
3. Chicken Broth (1/2 cup)
4. Sugar
5. Salt
6. Pepper
7. Chicken broth
8. Soy sauce
9. Corn starch

Dressing up the Chicken

1. Marinate the chicken with salt, pepper, sugar, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix it for a good 15 minutes to make sure the tasty goodness is spread throughout.
2. Add oil to a heated pan
3. Cook the chicken on high heat
4. Lay out the chicken pieces and pan fry for about 3-5 minutes, then flip the pieces over and cook until both sides are a beautiful golden brown
5. Set the chicken aside
6. I know it’s going to be tempting to take a bite of these tasty tings, especially after it’s sizzling hot off the pan, but trust me, the Bok Choy’s worth the wait

Bok Choy

1. Rinse the pan free of oil, then add in the Bok Choy
2. Cook on low heat to avoid burning, then pop the lid back onto the pan to let the water boil.
3. Afterwards, add oil, sugar, salt, and chicken broth, to bring out the taste
4. Pop the lid back on once again and let the water boil
5. Add in the chicken
6. As you’re waiting for the water to boil again, mix some corn starch with water to create a complimentary creamy sauce.
7. After the water boils, slowly add in the sauce.
8. And just like that, you’ve got a Bok Choy dish that’s both tasty good and good for you!
