Steamed Asparagus And Bok Choy With Soy Ginger Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Combine water and cornstarch together in a saucepan to desired thickness. Add beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let sauce simmer until thickened while you cook the vegetables, about 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add asparagus, onion, and garlic; cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add boy choy and zucchini; cook until still slightly crispy, about 5 minutes more. Stir sauce into the vegetables and top with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Place the bok choy in a steamer basket and place the basket over (not in) simmering water. Steam until the base of the bok choy is just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the chives, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest and sugar in a small bowl. Transfer the bok choy to a platter and drizzle with the soy mixture. Drizzle with the spicy sesame oil and serve.

Steps:

• Pour about 1-inch of water into a large saucepan, and set up a collapsible steamer inside. Bring the water to boil, lay the asparagus in the steamer, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a heated serving dish, drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with lemon and serve immediately.
• Cook's Note: You may finish the asparagus with the grated zest of a small lemon, a tablespoon of unsalted butter, and a teaspoon of minced flat-leaf parsley leaves, instead of the oil.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 355 degrees. Brush cod fillets with vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with lemon zest. Place cod fillets about 1/2 inch apart on foil. Fold the long edges of foil together; make thin folds to seal. Fold outer short edges a few times inward to seal. This will make a pouch. You can fold in individual pieces of foil if you wish.
• 2. Place all the bok choy ingredients in the center of foil. Fold the long edges of foil together; make thin folds to seal. Fold outer short edges a few times inward to seal. This will make a pouch.
• 3. Place foil packets on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Fish should be nice and flaky
• 4. Sauce ingredients-Meanwhile add vegetable & sesame oils to a hot skillet. Saute ginger for about a minute until oil in fragrant. Add sherry and simmer for 30 seconds. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 1 minute or so.
• 5. Add bok choy to a serving plate topped with cod and sauce. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, bring water to a boil. Add bok choy. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover; cook over high heat until pan is dry, 2 to 4 minutes. Add vegetable oil and garlic clove; cook, tossing often, until garlic is fragrant, 2 minutes. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.

Steps:

• Trim asparagus Line up stalks and cut off the tough ends, which are usually white and woody, or snap off ends where they naturally break.
• Prepare steamer Place a bamboo steamer in a large pot or wok. Fill pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a rapid simmer.
• Steam vegetables separately Lay asparagus in the steamer, spreading in an even layer, then cover steamer and cook until asparagus is crisp-tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Asparagus will keep cooking a little after it is taken off the heat, so be careful not to overcook. Steam bok choy in same manner, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Dress and serve Transfer vegetables to a platter and drizzle with some vinaigrette. Serve immediately, or marinate in the vinaigrette for 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor, but the color of asparagus will change.)

Steps:

• Set up a steamer, fill the bottom with water and bring to a boil. If the asparagus are very thick, peel them. Start about 2-inch down from the tip of the stalk and peel. It is not necessary to peel thin asparagus. Cut the asparagus to fit into your steamer basket. Cover and steam until the asparagus are bright green and tender, but still somewhat crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes for thick asparagus and 3 to 5 minutes for thin asparagus. Remove from the steamer and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Pour or spritz the water onto 4 paper towels. Spread out the paper towels and lay the asparagus on top of the dampened towels. Sprinkle with the salt. Roll up the asparagus in the dampened towels. Lay the bundle, seam side down, in the microwave. Microwave on high until the asparagus is just crisp tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave using tongs and carefully unwrap. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set. Add salt and butter, and bring to a boil.
• Trim the dry ends off of the asparagus. If the spears are thick, peel them lightly with a vegetable peeler. Place them in the top half of the steamer pan set. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus, or until asparagus is tender.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add bok choy and soy sauce cook 3 to 5 minutes, until greens are wilted and stalks are crisp-tender. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Separate the leaves from the stems of the bok choy. Cut the stems into bite-sized chunks and shred the leaves.
• Heat the olive oil in large skillet over medium heat.
• Cook the bok choy stems in the oil until slightly tender, about 3 minutes; add the water and leaves and cook until the water evaporates, about 10 minutes more. Stir in the capers, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir 1 minute more. Sprinkle the vinegar and lemon juice over the bok choy and remove from heat; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a jar. Cover and shake until well combined.
• Store in refrigerator for up to one week.

Steps:

• Separate bok choy leaves and rinse under cold water to clean. Place in steamer and steam until stalks begin to turn translucent and are soft when pierced.
• Combine vinegar, mustard, soy, sugar, garlic, and mix well.
• To serve warm: Chop up piece into bit size pieces while still warm and pour the ginger vinaigrette over.
• To serve cold: Plunge steamed bok choy into cold water to crisp it back up. Drain and cool. Then chop and pour ginger vinaigrette over.
