Bok Choy missing recipe
Posted Friday, January 29, 2010 at 2:38 PM

Okay I know this is a little vague but during our 21 day kickstart I saw a recipe with the main ingredient being Bok Choy. I really want to make it only I can't find it or remember what else was in the recipe (lol). I know it was on here somewhere (but not sure it was part of the 21 day meal plan). I checked the cancer recipe site no luck and I think you need to know the whole name to find it on Nutrition MD. Did anyone get to write it down or save it by chance or remember seeing it

Was it Spicy Thai Soup?

That's the only bok choy recipe I recall from the Kickstart menu.

I went searching and I saw the orange ginger bok choy- that's it- but I still can't find the actual recipe. Where was it posted? I LOVED that spicy thai soup to - I have passed it on to many (mostly non vegans-lol)

There were 2 recipes with bok choy on the celebrity list. Kathy Freston had STEAMED BABY BOK CHOY WITH ORANGE-AGAVE GLAZE. Marilu had NOODLE BOWL. It seems like there was a video also (It might be on www.foodforlifetv.com.) Hope that helps

Here's the Kathy Freston bok choy recipe, and there's also a video of Jill making it on the FoodForLiveTV you-tube channel (linked below recipe).

Steamed Baby Bok Choy with Orange-Agave Glaze
Kathy Freston | The Quantum Wellness Cleanse

Makes about 5 servings

For the bok choy:
1 1/2 pounds baby bok choy, washed well
1 teaspoon salt

Cut each bok choy in half. Add the salt to a pot full of water, bring to a simmer, add the bok choy, and cook in salted water for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender. Remove and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to cool completely and preserve the green color. Drain very well once cooled.

To assemble:
1 ripe orange
1/4 cup dark amber agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
cooked bok coy from above
salt and pepper to taste

Using the finest holes of a box grater, rasp about 1 teaspoon of the orange skin from the outside of the orange, avoiding the bitter white pith. Juice the orange, strain to remove the seeds, and place in a small saucepan with the grated zest, agave, ginger, and salt.

Simmer for 10 minutes, or until reduced by two-thirds and syrupy. Place the bok choy and glaze in a large skillet and heat for about 1 minute or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

And here is Marilu Henner's recipe that features bok choy:

Noodle Bowl
Marilu Henner

This is a very flexible recipe—the kind that uses up the veggies in your refrigerator. If you don’t have the exact vegetables that are listed here, don’t be afraid to substitute with the things you have.

Makes 4 servings

1 pound long, skinny noodles (whole-wheat spaghetti, vermicelli, soba, udon)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus some for drizzling
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
10 shiitake (or any) mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 large zucchini (or yellow summer squash) or 2 small, cut into half moons and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 large bok choy (with lots of green), cored and chopped*
6 cups vegetable stock
1 cup fresh bean sprouts, optional
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 Tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 Tablespoon chili powder
Cayenne pepper, a pinch
Tamari (dark soy sauce)

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water as directed on the package. Drain and toss with a little bit of vegetable oil.

While the water is coming up to a boil to cook the spaghetti, heat a large soup pot on medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, and shredded carrots and cook until the onions start to get tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and bok choy (or cabbage and spinach) and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add stock, bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the bean sprouts the last minute.

In a small bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, ground coriander, chili powder and cayenne pepper and reserve for garnishing the soup.

To serve, place some of the spaghetti in a soup bowl and season it with a couple of splashes of tamari. Ladle the veggies and soup over the noodles. Sprinkle the sesame mixture on top and serve.

*If you can’t get bok choy, try 1/2 a small head of cabbage, chopped, plus 2 cups baby spinach, chopped. Or even chopped broccoli (peel and chop the stalks, too).
