Steamed Baby Bok Choy and Broccoli

MrsSnax's Note:

This was on PBS's "Everyday Food" a few weeks back and I tried it out last week. I've passed this recipe on twice since then. Delicious, quick, healthy.

• Total Time: 17 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb fresh broccoli
• 1 lb fresh baby bok choy
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 teaspoons finely minced ginger

Directions:

1. Cut broccoli head into florets and stems into bite sized pieces.
2. Cut the leaves off the bok choy and cut the stems into bite sized chunks.
3. Steam the broccoli and the stems of the bok choy in half a cup of boiling water for 5 minutes or until they are bright green.
4. Remove lid and boil water out.
5. Add garlic and oil and stir well.
6. Add bok choy leaves.
7. Cover pot briefly til leaves just wilt.
8. Add ginger and soy sauce.
9. Stir, then serve.

This was one of the ones I chose to try with my beautiful baby bok choy from the farmers market. This went together very quickly. I too did not cook the broc. for the full 5 minutes. This has very nice flavor. I thought it was worthy of a 4, but dh loved it and thought it was a 5+. So we agreed on a 5! Oh, and I reduced the oil to 1/2 a tbsp. and used olive oil infused with garlic. Very nice.
