Teriyaki Buk Choy (Green Shanghai) with Edamame Beans
Prep time: 2 minutes
Cooking time: 8-10 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 Bunches Buk Choy (Green Shanghai)
- 150ml Teriyaki Sauce
- 400g Edamame Beans
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- Cooking oil
Method:
-
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil.
-
Cut the Buk Choy in half lengthwise and set it aside.
-
Heat a large frying pan over high heat, add a drizzle of cooking oil, and when hot, place the Buk Choy halves with the inner side down. Sear them for 2 minutes until they turn golden. Remove them from the pan and set them aside. Repeat this step until all the Buk Choy has been seared.
-
While that's happening, put the edamame beans into the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
-
Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and bring it to a boil. Place the seared Buk Choy back into the pan with the seared side facing up. Cook for 2 minutes while basting them with the sauce.
-
Drain the edamame beans and add them to the pan with the Buk Choy. Toss everything together for 1 minute, then transfer the dish to a serving platter.
-
Sprinkle the dish with toasted sesame seeds and serve it while it's still warm.
Tips:
- Use this flavourful dish as a side accompaniment for various meats or other Asian greens.
- Elevate it to a main course by serving it alongside rice, chicken, beef, or tofu.
- For quick toasted sesame seeds, heat them in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
