5 13 Published Sep 11, 2013, Updated Jul 24, 2023 So yeah, the what’s for dinner question is a popular one. And rightfully so, I think dinner has always been the hardest meal for me to plan ahead for. We’re usually busy in the evenings and I never know what we’ll be in the mood for. Plus, I’m usually starving by the time dinner rolls around. Knowing our busy schedule and my ravenous tendencies, I like to plan ahead a little. This week that meant making a big batch of quinoa on Sunday night and buying ingredients for a few easy (and healthy) recipes I could whip up and have on the table in a matter of minutes. This tofu bok choy stir-fry is one of those quick and easy recipes.
What is Bok Choy?
Also called pak choi or pok choi, bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage. You can find this cabbage at most local grocery stores and they usually have regular bok choy and baby bok choy, which is smaller and more tender.
How to Stir-Fry Bok Choy
Stir-frying is a common way to prepare bok choy and so easy. You can simply chop up your bok choy, add a little oil to a skillet or wok and stir-fry until bok choy is tender and bright green. Of course you can season it however you like, but I love using a little tamari or coconut aminos to stick the Asian theme. For this tofu and bok choy stir-fry we’re stir-frying the tofu and bok choy together with garlic, tamari, maple syrup, Sambal Oelek, scallion and ginger. You got your protein, you got your greens, add a little spice and you’re good to go! Oh and quinoa… don’t forget the quinoa (or rice)!
