  • Organic Baby Bok Choy 1 lb $2.99
  • Organic Ginger Root about 1 Tbsp grated (1–2 inch knob) $3.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs (3 ct) 2 cloves, minced $1.99
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onions 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced $1.69/lb
  • Cooked rice (white or brown) about 1 1/2 cups cooked (for 2) not provided
  • Soy sauce 2 1/2 Tbsp not provided
  • Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp not provided
  • Brown sugar or honey 1 tsp not provided
  • Neutral oil (canola/avocado) 1 Tbsp not provided
  • Sesame oil (optional) 1 tsp not provided
  • Black pepper to taste not provided
  • Crushed red pepper or sriracha (optional) to taste not provided

Instructions

  1. Start rice if you don’t already have cooked rice ready (or use microwaveable rice).
  2. Prep bok choy: slice off the very bottom nub, then chop stems into 1/2-inch pieces and leaves into larger bite-size pieces (keep separate).
  3. Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar/honey, and a splash of water (2 Tbsp). Set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then pork. Cook, breaking up, until browned and cooked through, 6–8 minutes.
  5. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Add bok choy stems first. Stir-fry 2 minutes.
  7. Add bok choy leaves and the sauce. Toss 1–2 minutes until leaves wilt and everything is glossy. Finish with sesame oil (optional) and black pepper. Add chili to taste.
  8. Serve the pork-bok choy stir-fry over rice.

Health notes: ~700 calories/person (depends on rice portion). High protein; bok choy adds vitamins and crunch. Moderate-high sodium if soy sauce is heavy—use low-sodium soy or dilute with a splash of water.

Drink pairing: Beer: a light pilsner. Wine: off-dry Riesling or Pinot Gris to play nicely with ginger and soy.
