Bok Choy Thai Green Smoothie Recipes

BOK CHOY THAI GREEN SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Combine coconut water, banana, apple, bok choy, sprouts, coconut, chia seeds, ginger, and spirulina powder in a blender; blend until smooth.

STIR-FRY BOK CHOY IN THAI GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the bok choy and cut off the bottom stem part at the base of each head. Separate into individual leaves. If the white sections of these leaves are very wide or large, you can slice them in half lengthwise, or into thirds. Tip: If stir-frying larger bok choy, slice off the green leaf tips. Add the thicker white sections to the wok first, then throw in the leaves at the end (these will cook very fast).
• Mix all the stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a bowl or cup. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high to high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add oil and swirl around.
• Now add the bok choy plus 2-3 tablespoons stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, or until pan/wok starts to become dry.
• Now add another 2-3 tablespoons sauce and continue stir-frying another 2-3 minutes, or until the bok choy is bright green and the white stems are softened but still crunchy.
• Taste-test the bok choy with the sauce. Add more sugar if too sour for your taste, or more lime juice if too salty. Also, fresh minced chili or dried chili can be added if you prefer it spicier. If you prefer more sauce, add a little more, as desired.
• To serve, lift out the bok choy and place on a serving platter or in a serving bowl, then pour the sauce (from the bottom of the wok or pan) over. Serve immediately with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice. ENJOY!

BOK CHOY WITH THAI-STYLE DRESSING

Steps:

• Place the bok choy in a steamer set over a pan of boiling water and sprinkle over the salt.
• Cover and cook for 3-5 mins until tender, then tip into a warmed serving dish.
• Meanwhile heat a wok or large frying pan until hot. Add the oil, ginger, chili and garlic and stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add the soy sauce and fish sauce, heat through and drizzle over the bok choy to serve.

SPICY GREEN CHILE AND BOK CHOY SOUP

Steps:

• Separate the white and green parts of the bok choy. Cut the white parts into thin, bite-sized pieces. Cut the green parts into longer strips.
• Slice serrano, jalapeno, and Anaheim chile peppers into thin rounds or bite-sized pieces, depending on size (you can do this while mirepoix is cooking).
• Add enough sesame oil to a large soup pot to coat the bottom. Add garlic and cook over low heat until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add diced mirepoix (carrots, onion, and celery) and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add all chile peppers, chopped onion, and white parts of bok choy and cover. Lower heat and simmer until peppers are tender and flavors have blended, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Add green onions and green parts of bok choy. Cook and stir until bok choy is wilted and soft, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

ORANGE-PEAR GREEN SMOOTHIE WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Combine pear, grapes, water, pineapple, banana, bok choy, kale, orange, ice, and mint in a large blender. Blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high, until smooth. Turn blender to liquefy setting for a smoother texture.n
