Bok Choy - aquaponic grown

Bok Choy grown in an Aquaponic system

 

A friend shared a recipe in one of our on-line cooking groups a few days ago for a slaw made with Bok Choy instead of cabbage.  Since I had some in my refrigerator I decided to play with the recipe.  The recipe as given came from Cooking.com...but as usual, I tweaked it to suit us and the ingredients I had on hand.

The dressing in the original recipe called for sesame oil, but I was out and did not use any oil, but instead added the juice of several tiny calamandine oranges. It was very crunchy and refreshingly delicious!

Bok Choy Slaw 1

Crunchy Bok Choy Slaw

For the dressing:


1/4 cup rice vinegar
6 calamandine, juiced
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons rough country mustard
For the slaw:
1 head very thinly sliced bok choy
1 medium carrot, thinly julienne
1 medium sweet Maui onion, thinly sliced

 

 

Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and let sit for a bit so sugar can dissolve. Whisk again before adding to the slaw.  Mix, cover, refrigerate until ready to serve.

YIELD: 4 servings

Sounds good but my local store has bok choy only every few months. I just can't count on them.

Thanks for sharing with The Triple Name Club.

Len, this is not complicated at all and can be made on the occasions when the stores do have them... ;-)

Come east, Len. We have it all the time.

Most stores in SoCal have it all year long; I'm just a victim of the area in which I live. My city is 57% Hispanic and this neighborhood is almost entirely Mexican. The local store carries only Mexican-type foods.

There's a "real" store another couple of miles down the road, but making that walk while carrying a bunch of goodies is a bit too much for me on a regular basis.

I can imagine...it would be for me too!

This looks so fresh, crisp and tasty! Thanks for posting to Cook it up Big!
Sonia M. Aug 3, 2012, 6:47pm UTC
That's the word I was searching for...crisp! Definitely crisp!
Thank you, Jan!

Yummm ... looks delicious, Sonia! So colorful and fresh!
Sonia M. Aug 3, 2012, 9:56pm UTC
Thank you, Marianne! It was delicious - my son had 2 servings!

Excellent. I am collecting bok choy recipes.
Sonia M. Aug 3, 2012, 9:59pm UTC
Kathryn I have another one you might like... I came up with that one last summer...

Fabulous. The one I made this evening was a snap pea salad with sesame oil, lime juice, carrots, scallions and cucumber with chile-garlic sauce and some spicy flavoring and chopped peanuts as garnish. I love summer salads!
Sonia M. Aug 5, 2012, 6:19pm UTC
That sounds wonderful too, Donna...we've been eating a lot of salads!
Now that not only looks healthy but yummy to.
Sonia M. Aug 5, 2012, 6:19pm UTC
It was quite yummy...Thanks!

This reads sort of like the recipe for Bread and Butter pickles .... Bok Choy is a type of cabbage. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it sounds wonderful.
Sonia M. Aug 14, 2012, 2:09pm UTC
Its a very nice salad, Ms Lee...we have made it a couple of times since and its one that will stay in my menu rotation ;-)
Linda K. Aug 21, 2012, 2:00pm UTC
Sonia, this looks so delicious. I've only eaten bok choy stir fried.
Sonia M. Aug 21, 2012, 2:09pm UTC
It is really good, Linda...try it!

I made another one a few days ago and this time added a chopped Granny Smith apple...for dressing I used honey, red wine vinegar and Greek yogurt mixed together...It was delicious!
Linda K. Aug 21, 2012, 2:22pm UTC
It also is very healthy...good job!
Sonia M. Aug 21, 2012, 2:33pm UTC
Yes, it is. We can buy a big bunch of baby bok choy at the farmers market for $1 so we always have some on hand...

Something else I like to make with it is THIS
