Description

This was a side dish for the flank steak and mangos I made the other night, but this would be wonderful as a vegetarian meal served over rice, tossed with extra sauce with whole wheat spaghetti, or with tofu thrown into the sauté pan. Use your imagination!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE VEGGIES:
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1-½ pound Baby Bok Choy
  • ¼ pounds Shitake Mushrooms
  • ¼ cups Peanut Butter Ginger Sauce (See Below)
  • Sesame Seeds, To Garnish
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Diced Red Chile Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Ginger
  • ¼ cups Hot Water

Preparation

To make the peanut butter, ginger and chili-sesame sauce, add all the sauce ingredients to a blender and puree. Use only as much hot water as it takes to blend it into a nice smooth sauce. Adjust flavor as needed with extra soy, sugar or hot chili.

To make the veggies, in a large saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the bok choy and the mushrooms to the hot oil. Stir around to coat the vegetables in oil. Drizzle the ¼ cup of sauce over the vegetables and add about ¼ cup of water to the pan.

Reduce the heat to medium and put a lid on the pot.

Let the vegetables steam for about 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and the bok choy is tender but not too soft. Remove the vegetables from the pan and put them on a platter. Drizzle with additional sauce if desired and sprinkle with sesame seeds to garnish.

This was very good. I was looking for Bok Choy recipies since I have a ton of it growing in my garden and I tryed this one. I added chopped cooked chicken and Lo Mein Noodles to the dish and it was excellent. Loved the sauce, I had all the ingredients in my pantry. Excellent, will make again and again

Oh my goodness, this was absolutely delicious! The BEST sauce thus far I’ve found. I can’t wait for my husband to try it when he gets home from work. He loves peanut butter Thai sauce.

The only thing I would personally do is cut back on the pepper flakes to cut down the heat. Otherwise this was SO GOOD!

Delicious! I found that there was a bit more sauce than needed, so I’d scale it back a bit next time.

The only thing I would personally do is cut back on the pepper flakes to cut down the heat. Otherwise this was SO GOOD with a balance of flavor from the sauce itself.
