For Meatless Mondays – Baby Bok Choy Braised in Garlic Sauce

Whilst on return to swine flu free Playa del Carmen, I read an interesting article about the environmental impact of meat eating. Interesting, though it didn’t really dissuade me from consuming meat. The argument goes that consuming meat is a greater pressure on the environment than that attributed to all the modes of transportation combined.

One of the interesting suggestions by environmental expert and singer-songwriter Paul Mcartney is to marginally reduce meat consumption by adhering to “Meatless Mondays”. Now I don’t really subscribe to the environmental argument, but I think meatless Mondays is, nonetheless, not a bad idea. At least it breaks up the week!

So to gear up for meatless Mondays, we will be concocting some vegetarian mains and sides in upcoming posts. Same great taste, bust less filling.

Recipe: Baby Bok Choy Braised in Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

    1/2 pound of baby bok choy, cleaned and cut in halves
    1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil
    2 cloves of garlic, finely minced

    1 cup of chicken stock
    1 teaspoon of soy sauce
    Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a wok, or 13 inch fry pan, heat the grapeseed oil until it smokes. Add the bok choy and stir fry for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and continue to stir fry. When fragrant, add the chicken stock, and cover. Let braise for about 8 minutes.
  3. Remove cover, and reduce sauce to a thin syrup. Serve hot.
