Bok Choy with Peanut Sauce

Bok Choy with Peanut Sauce

Steaming bok choy keeps the stalks leaves tender while preserving its nutrients and vibrant color. The richness of the peanut butter and the savoriness of the soy sauce pair wonderfully with the refreshing leafy greens. Enjoy it as a side dish for an Asian-inspired meal or over rice topped with a fried egg.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • 2 (200g) bok choy, ends trimmed
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • black pepper, to taste
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation

  1. Add the oil, peanut butter, mirin, salt, and pepper to the Anyday dish. Whisk to mix thoroughly. 
  2. Add bok choy on top of the sauce. It will be a tight fit at first, but the vegetables will shrink as they cook. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  3. Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes, or until the bok choy is crisp-tender.
  4. Add the soy sauce or tamari and mix well. Garnish with sesame seeds if using.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Try substituting bok choy with another vegetable, like frozen spinach or asparagus.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
