What is Bok Choy?

Bok Choy is known as Chinese cabbage and it is a leaf vegetable that is used in many Chinese/Asian dishes. There are different types of Bok Choy and each one can be eaten raw, though it is best to place it in hot boiled water for a few minutes before eating.

Bok Choy is a healthy vegetable to eat, and there are many delicious dishes that can be created using it. Here I will share some of my own recipes that you will hopefully enjoy. The dishes are healthy, easy to make, and do not take a lot of time.

Sauteed Bok Choy with Mushrooms Recipe

Ingredients:

  • bunches of bok choy
  • package of shitake mushrooms
  • small onion
  • sesame seed teriyaki sauce
  • salt
  • canola oil
  • dried parsley flakes


Preparation:

Step 1: Take out the shitake mushrooms from the package, wash them well, and cut into strips.

Step 2: Add canola oil to a skillet and add the shitake mushrooms. Let them cook ten minutes or so, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Take bunches of bok choy and wash them with water. Washing the entire bunch might leave unwanted sand and dirt that will not wash off, so it is best to take each bunch and take the leafs apart before washing.

Step 4: Cut the bok choy leafs and one small onion into slices and add to the skillet with the mushrooms, after the mushrooms have cooked for about ten minutes. Add a pinch of salt and dried parsley flakes, stir and let cook for a few minutes.

Step 5: Add a few table spoons of sesame seed teriyaki sauce and let cook for a few minutes, stirring the contents.

Step 6: Remove from heat and enjoy with your favorite bread.

This dish is great eaten on its own but it is also great when paired with with mashed potatoes, meat, or fish. Great with pasta too.

How To Prepare Mushrooms In White Sauce
Mushrooms can make a delicious side dish to go along with meat, pasta, potatoes, rice, or other foods.When buying mushrooms from a supermarket, or fruit & vegetable store, make sure that they are firm and not slimy or spoiled. Once you have bought the mushrooms, try to prepare them right away, as leaving them in the fridge for too long, especially in a plastic bag, can cause them to spoil.

I am a huge fan of mushrooms and love to prepare them myself. Here is one of my recipes. If you love to cook, I hope that you give my recipe a try. You will enjoy it.
