I’ve created this recipe after I’ve tried bok choy for the very first time in 2020! I’ve always been intrigued by this funny-looking- vegetable not common in France.
Caramelized bok choy, tofu & rice noodle ingredients
Serves 2
- 300 g bok choy, stalk diced and leaves cut in two
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped finely (optional if you don’t tolerate fructans)
- 2 chillies (to be adapted according to your tolerance), chopped
- 1 tbsp tamari sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 spring onion (green part)
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 200 g tofu
- 1 tbsp tamari sauce
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- Rice noodle
Dice the tofu and combine with ginger and tamari sauce.
Cook garlic and chillies for few minutes in a frying pan. Add the diced pieces of bok choy stalk, tamari sauce, vinegar and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Add 100ml of water. Cover and let it cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add the boy choy leaves and a little bit of water if there is not enough liquid. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile cook the rice noodles. Cook tofu in a frying pan until browned. Add them to the bok choy. Add the sesame.
Prepare your plates: place the rice noodles, pour the boy choy-tofu mixture. Decorate with new spring onion (green part) and drizzle with lemon juice.
