Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the 3 heads of bok choy. If the roots are tied together, gently loosen them with scissors or a knife. Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under running water and drain.
Step 2
Fill a pot with plenty of water and add about half a tablespoon of salt. Adding salt helps to maintain the vibrant green color of the leaves.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling vigorously, add the bok choy. Blanch for 15 seconds, then flip the bok choy and blanch for another 15 seconds. A total of 30 seconds is perfect for keeping it crisp!
Step 4
After blanching for 30 seconds, immediately shock the bok choy in ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, gently squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step ensures the bok choy stays crunchy and absorbs the dressing better.
Step 5
In a bowl with the squeezed bok choy, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 0.5 tablespoon of anchovy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Mix everything together gently until well combined. Your super simple 5-minute bok choy salad is now ready!
Step 6
With minimal prep and a super simple cooking method, this recipe is perfect for beginners looking to make a delicious and healthy dish with ease. Enjoy your fresh and crisp bok choy salad!
