Best Grilled Baby Bok Choy With Coconut Ginger Dressing Recipes

GRILLED BOK CHOY WITH GINGER SCALLION GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

GRILLED BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• In a bowl, mix butter, garlic powder, paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Slice the bottom off the head of bok choy, and remove and clean the stalks. Sprinkle seasoned salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper over both sides of the stalks.
• Lay the bok choy stalks on the preheated grill. Brush with seasoned butter mixture, cover the grill, and cook until the bok choy stalks show grill marks and the leaves are crisp at the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the bok choy, brush with butter mixture, cover, and grill the other sides. Brush with any remaining butter mixture, and remove to a platter to serve.

GRILLED BABY BOK CHOY WITH MISO BUTTER

Steps:

• Cut the leaves away from the bok choy stalks. Halve the stalks lengthwise. Rinse the leaves and stalks well, then pat dry to remove any excess water. In a small bowl, mix together the butter and miso with a fork until well combined. Set aside.
• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill. Put the bok choy stalks in a large bowl. Using your hands (or a fork), coat the bok choy with the miso butter. Arrange the bok choy, cut side down, on the grill grate. (If you have a grill screen, set it on top of the grate before adding the bok choy, to keep the stalks from falling through the gaps.) Close the lid and grill for about 5 minutes, until golden brown on the underside. Turn the bok choy with tongs, re-cover, and grill for 5 to 6 minutes more, until golden and crisp-tender.
• While the stalks are cooking, stack the bok choy leaves and roll them up lengthwise into a cigar shape. Slice the leaves crosswise into thin shreds. Make a bed of the shredded leaves on a serving platter. Drizzle the leaves with the oil and lemon juice, sprinkle with the salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and toss to combine.
• Put the grilled bok choy on the dressed salad to wilt the leaves; sprinkle additional pepper over the bok choy. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SALMON AND BABY BOK CHOY WITH GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to moderately high heat.
• Trim 1/8 inch from the bottom of each bok choy, then cut into quarters. Wash the bok choy in several changes of cold water and dry in a colander or salad spinner.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, sake, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
• On a large baking sheet, arrange 2 (12 by 24-inch) pieces of heavy-duty foil, overlapping them in the center to form a cross. Brush the entire surface of the salmon with the sesame oil mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and place skin side down in the center of the foil. Arrange the bok choy on top of the salmon, then fold the foil into a packet, sealing in the salmon and bok choy.
• Transfer the foil packet to the grill and cook until the salmon is just opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, open the foil slightly, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Remove the salmon and bok choy from the foil and cut the salmon into 8 servings. Divide the bok choy among 8 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Garnish plates with lime wedges and serve immediately.

SAUTéED BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a large sauté pan with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Add garlic, ginger and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
• Add bok choy and stir carefully to cover with oil, then cook for approximately 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, stock or water, then cover pan and cook for approximately 2 minutes more, until steam begins to escape from beneath the lid of the pan.
• Uncover and continue to cook until liquid is close to evaporated and stalks are soft to the touch, approximately 3 minutes more.
• Remove to a warmed platter and drizzle with sesame oil.

GRILLED BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Heat grill to low. Trim large leaves from baby bok choy; halve heads lengthwise. Rinse well under cold water to remove grit.
• In a large bowl, whisk together white-wine vinegar, tomato-based chili sauce, light-brown sugar, and vegetable oil; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Add bok choy; toss to coat. Remove from bowl, reserving sauce.
• Place bok choy, cut sides down, on grill; cover, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Serve bok choy drizzled with reserved sauce.
