CHOY VEGETABLE CHINESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Having grown up with bok choy, my parents are masters at keeping it fresh. They usually buy bok choy in bulk (5-6 pounds at a time), so they have a bunch of tips for maximizing freshness.
• To prepare our pork chops, we'll first need to trim away the fatty edges.
• You'll need to wash the baby bok choy thoroughly:
• The stalks of bok choy are all inherently different sizes, so we'll want to make two cuts for the bigger stalks:
• Set your stove to high heat. In a pot, we'll bring water and chicken broth to a boil.
• Once the pot has come to a boil, we'll throw in our bok choy, starting with the stems/roots. These are thicker and take longer to cook.
• Once the bok choy has returned to a boil, add the pork slices a few at a time, making sure to separate them from one another. We can also add chicken bouillon (optional).
• After you’ve cooked it, we can keep the bok choy in the soup and eat it as is.

Steps:

• Combine the leeks, garlic, ginger and jalapeno in a 7-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle in the flour and toss to coat. Nestle the meat in the vegetable mixture. Whisk the hoisin sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, brown sugar and 1/3 cup warm water in a bowl; pour over the meat.
• Cover and cook on low, 7 1/2 hours. Remove the meat to a cutting board and thinly slice against the grain; remove and discard the garlic and ginger. Return the meat to the slow cooker along with the bok choy. Increase the heat to high and cook, uncovered, until the bok choy wilts, about 5 minutes. Serve with the rice.
