CHINESE-STYLE BABY BOK CHOY WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Mix the potato starch and water in a small bowl, and stir it into the oyster sauce mixture until smooth.
• Fill a pot with water, bring to a boil, and stir in salt and vegetable oil. Place the bok choy into the boiling water, and cook until tender, shiny, and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the bok choy, and arrange attractively on a serving platter.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok until the oil shimmers, then toss the green onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 20 seconds; stir in the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms begin to shrink slightly. Sprinkle the mushrooms lightly with salt. Continue to cook the mushrooms, stirring often, until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the oyster sauce mixture, then stir until the sauce is thickened and coats the mushrooms, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the thickened mushroom sauce over the bok choy; serve immediately.

BABY BOK CHOY - AUTHENTIC CHINESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean baby bok choy in cold water several times to get out the sand/dirt. You can slice the vegetable in half length-wise if you like.
• heat oil over medium heat in skillet. (very briefly if using sesame oil since this burns quickly).
• If you are using fresh garlic instead of garlic salt, add to oil now.
• Add baby bok choy to skillet, stirring constantly, about 1 min until leaves are coated with oil and beginning to wilt.
• Add chicken broth and cover pan.
• Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Test for doneness with a fork - if it can pierce the white thick part of the stalk without much resistance it is ready.
• Remove from heat, add garlic salt.
• When transferring to serving dish, you can move some of the broth but don't take the bottom bits since this may have residual sand.

FRESH EGG PASTA WITH PORK LOIN, CHINESE EGGPLANT, BABY BOK CHOY, AND SPICY MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
• Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.
• To make the stir-fry, heat 4 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the eggplant and cook until each side is caramelized, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. (Note: The eggplant will absorb most of the oil.)
• With the oil that's still in the pan, add the pork loin and decrease the heat to medium. Sear each side for 30 seconds, then transfer to the plate with the eggplant.
• Decrease the heat to low and add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the sliced garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Then mix in the bok choy and cook until it begins to wilt, about 30 seconds longer. Add the reserved eggplant and pork back to the pan along with the miso sauce. Mix well and turn off the heat.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and add the pasta to the sauté pan. Increase the heat to medium and mix quickly with the pork and vegetables until all the ingredients are heated through and well combined. Divide the noodles, pork, and vegetables between 2 plates and serve hot.
