Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 pounds bok choy -- rinsed thoroughly, stems and leaves

separated; stems trimmed and cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces, leaves torn into

large pieces

1 tablespoon vegetable oil -- or peanut oil

4 small whole dried red chiles -- cut into 1/4-inch lengths and seeds

removed

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine -- or sake

Sauce:

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

3/4 teaspoon table salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons black Chinese vinegar -- or Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon cornstarch

 

1. Heat 1 gallon water to boiling and add bok choy stems. Boil until nearly

tender, 1 to 2 minutes; drain. Place under cold running water until cool and

drain again. Mix together sauce ingredients.

 

 

2. Heat a wok or skillet until very hot; add oil and heat until smoking. Add the

chile peppers and stir-fry over high heat for about 20 seconds. Remove peppers

with a slotted spoon and discard. Add ginger shreds and stir-fry until fragrant,

about 15 seconds. Add cabbage stems and leaves; stir-fry over high heat until

leaves wilt, about 1 minute. Add rice wine and stir-fry for 45 seconds longer.

Add the sauce and, stirring to prevent lumps, cook until the sauce thickens,

about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot, at room

temperature, or cold.

Bok Choy keeps for 4 to 5 days, loosely wrapped in plastic, although the leaves

may become a bit limp. Remove tough outer leaves before using. This dish is very

spicy. For a milder version, reduce the number of chile peppers to 2.
