Spicy Bok Choy #FarmersMarketWeek

By

Here we are on Day Two of the 2018 #FarmersMarketWeek. This online Farmers' Market Week event is co-hosted by Ellen of Family Around the Table with help from Christie at A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures. I love those gals! They are so organized...which means the rest of us can just cook, post, and reap the benefits of this blogging community. Thank you, ladies.

Tuesday #FarmersMarketWeek Recipes
Spicy Bok Choy

Have you ever gone to a Korean restaurant and just marveled at the array of side dishes offered? I do. Every. Single. Time. I mean, I could make an entire meal out of those banchan. Really. If I could order just the banchan as my meal, I would. So, I have experimented to recreate several of my favorite nibbles. While I love oi-muchim (spicy cucumber salad), kongnamul muchim (soybean sprouts salad), and pa muchim (scallion salad), one of my favorites is a spicy bok choy.

This is my version, so it's definitely not traditional. But it's a quick, tasty accompaniment with brown rice and seafood or beef.

Ingredients

  • 5 heads (about 1 lb) organic baby bok choy, ends trimmed and stalks separated
  • sesame seeds for garnish
Dressing

  • 1 1/2 T miso paste (I use red, but yellow works, too)
  • 2 t gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 t soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 1 t honey
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 2 t toasted sesame oil


Procedure
In a mixing bowl, combine miso paste, gochujang, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and toasted sesame oil. Whisk together and set aside.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the bok choy 1 to 2 minutes, just until the stalks just begin to wilt. Drain well and rinse in cold water.

Add the bok choy to the mixing bowl and gently toss until very well coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

    OH, I still have some miso paste in my fridge from the KMP challenge using it. I wonder if it is still good? Do you know the shelf life on it?

      As long as it's in the fridge, It think it's fine. I've had some miso for months and still use it.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
