Baby Bok Choy And Shiitake Mu Shu Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together broth, oyster sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Stir-fry garlic and ginger with salt until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shiitakes and stir-fry until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bok choy and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Re-stir cornstarch mixture. Make a well in vegetables and add cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil and toss to coat vegetables. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups water with the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest. Fluff with a fork right before serving.
• Meanwhile, quarter the bok choy through the stem ends. Halve the mushroom caps (or quarter them if they are large) by stacking them and cutting them in batches.
• Heat 2 large nonstick skillets with 1 tablespoon oil in each over medium-high heat. Divide the bok choy between the two pans, placing it cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. By this time, the leaves will be fairly wilted, and there will be enough room to transfer all of the bok choy into just one skillet to finish cooking. Place the bok choy so that the other cut side faces down. Cook until charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the bok choy and mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes (if the skillet looks dry add 1 more tablespoon of oil). Stir in the scallion greens, then remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar.
• While the bok choy cooks, pat the fish dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Wipe out the other skillet and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Put the salmon into the hot skillet, flesh-side down, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side to the desired level of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Divide the vegetables and rice between 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Drizzle with a little extra soy sauce.

Steps:

• Put wok or large skillet over maximum heat, and add oil. When oil smokes, add garlic. Stir once, and add the bok choy. Cook for a minute or two until it just begins to brown. Then stir, and add shiitakes and sugar.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, a minute or two, and add the chicken stock and fish sauce. Cook, stirring, until the bok choy is tender. Add a bit more stock or water if necessary -- the mixture should not dry out entirely. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Trim the bases off the bok choy and discard. Trim the leaves from the stems and cut both crosswise into bite-size pieces, keeping the stems and leaves separate.
• Heat the light sesame oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the scallions, ginger, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, and a pinch of salt and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the water, tamari, and the bok choy stems and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy leaves, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and sauté until the bok choy is just wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste and add another squeeze of lime if you like. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.

• WHO KNEW? 'Shroom Sagacity
• Mushrooms, long a staple of healthy eating in Asian diets, are a bit of a yin-yang affair. They can have powerful anticancer effects, but they must be properly prepared. Integrative oncologist Donald Abrams notes that "people are often not aware that white button mushrooms, their brown cousins, the cremini, and their giant cousins, the portobello, really need to be cooked. Putting sliced white button mushrooms in a salad is really something we should avoid, because they may in fact contain hydrazine, a cancer-causing compound that's neutralized when it's cooked." Abrams adds that he loves shiitake and maitake mushrooms for his patients, as both are good immune enhancers.
