Bok Choy Basics
To prep bok choy, begin by rinsing the leaves just before preparing your meal. Then, make sure to thoroughly wipe the bok choy dry — even in those interior crevices. Slice off a sliver of the stalk, then quarter the bok choy. Cut it in half, then flip each half so it lies flat on your cutting board, and halve them again.
With a short burst of high heat, you can really bring out bok choy’s nutty notes and irresistible flavor. Getting perfectly charred bok choy just requires a little patience. Just make sure to keep an eye on your veggies – you don’t want to miss out on that enticing crunch! Place quartered pieces, cut side down, and resist flipping for a minute or two.
Why White Fish?
For those who have a busy schedule, white fish is an ideal protein. Not only does it cook up nice and quickly, but it’s also quite versatile!
White fish is neutral and mild, so it absorbs all the flavors from the dish rather than being overpowering. If your schedule doesn’t leave much time to buy fresh fish, simply stock up on quality frozen filets. You won’t have to worry about the 2-4 day short shelf life and a frozen filet still soaks up all those flavors just as well as fresh fish. Simply select the variety that works best for you.
– Quick: There are a couple of varieties of fish that are generally found thinly-sliced. Because these filets cook quite quickly, they can be prone to overcooking – just keep your eye on them and you won’t have a problem. Halibut has a delicate flavor. However, if you want to add nutty and sweet notes to your dish, select snapper.
– Foolproof: Dense and flaky, cod is particularly easy to prepare. It’s a great option when a recipe calls for plenty of herbs and spices. Another flaky fish, grouper is simple to grill, smoke, roast or bake, making it a particularly versatile variety of fish.
