other
- 1/4 cupShaoxing wine(Chinese rice wine)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high. Cook mushrooms in a single layer, tossing halfway through, until browned, 8–10 minutes. Pour in wine, soy sauce, and ¾ cup water, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are very soft, 8–10 minutes.
- Transfer mushrooms and liquid to a blender and purée, adding more water by the tablespoonful as needed, until sauce is smooth.
- Combine garlic and oil in a small skillet. Set skillet over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Season garlic with salt; set oil aside.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. reserved garlic oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high. Add bok choy and 2 Tbsp. water and cover immediately. Cook 1 minute. Uncover and toss, then re-cover and cook until bok choy is tender at the core, about 2 minutes.
- Spoon some brown sauce in a large shallow bowl or on a platter; arrange bok choy over. Top with crispy garlic.
My notes
Steamed bok choy is taken to another level with this veganized take on oyster sauce from Fat Choy chef and owner Justin Lee.
