Thanks for the recipe, this is my first time to do it !!

I needed this because I don't know how to cook, but really like Bok Choy. I really liked seeing the 1-2-3 portions of the olive oil. You're a good teacher.

[@janetrothwell4448]

I have always just cook them by themselves. Will definitely try your recipe.

[@cletharomany361]

So simple but looks so good

[@yolkycheeks]

love bokchoy so much! delicious with rice and noodles

[@doreensherk287]

That looks simple and delicious. Laura did a great job last week with the chick pea and tuna salad. I made it today using salmon because I had no tuna. Turned out great. I do like the Bok Choy, good with grilled chicken and rice. Now I need to go shopping for vegetables.

[@elizabethupchurch4588]

Thank you so much for your recipe! I loved bok choy never had it like that, looking forward making it today. “Yummy “ ♥️👍

[@donnamariebrown2478]

I look forward to making this and seeing your other videos.

Wao best recepie

[@TomokoAbe_]

Bok choy is easy to grow. Full adult takes about 6 weeks. Using baby bok choy takes a fraction of that. Nothing beats home grown and you can grow them in containers. If you keep the bottom stalk intact while harvesting the Bok choy will regrow without having to replant. This recipe is awesome!! I'll try it! Now I put bean sprouts in just about everything as those are easy to root and grow too. I love cooked small tofu squares -- high in protein and very tasty! It should go well with this Bok choy stir fry.

Be careful with 3 tbs soy sauce sound too much for small amount of veggie can be too salt

So delicious cooked this way! Also good with stir fried beef or chicken😋

Very hard working. It's nice to have someone to help sometimes 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@valeriyakhoranova1818]

Very nice, always tastes good, only onions were well burnt in a process.

[@whatyousay9816]

IT was the garlic.

Not a good technique. I really hate listening to people eating in a microphone.

Looks super tasty 😋😋😋

[@bp6087]

Thank you so much for this video! I recently found a recipe for seared scallops with orange/ginger sauce. I was looking for a vegetable dish to pair, and this looks PERFECT! I was thinking about possibly tweaking/adding a couple of ingredients to bridge the flavor profiles, but I can tell your recipe is LEGIT as is! Served with some steamed jasmine rice!!!... I'll be sure to let you know how it all tested! I'm excited! Cheers to YOU, CHEF!!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Sounds like you have an amazing dinner planned - enjoy and cheers :)

[@bp6087]

@@CookingwiththeCoias Thank you so much, Chef! I ended up adjusting your recipe to add some mushrooms I didn't want to waste. The Bok choy was Amazing!! As for the scallops... The power to my burner shut off on me after I finished placing them down on the pan to sear😭. I didn't see it at first, but I was counting the seconds to 90... then 120. The scallops were stuck to the pan🤢. I thought I could save the sauce, but my heating issues persisted and my sauce turned out extremely bitter. I wondered if I zested my orange and lemon too early. I'll give it another try again next week. Cheers, Chef!

This was absolutely delicious. I added a bit of water to speed up the cooking process. Done in about 8 minutes. So much better than the plain one. I, also, added about a teaspoon of oyster sauce.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

So glad you enjoyed this recipe and thanks for the tip using some oyster sauce👍

Thank you for putting the recipe up in writing. Most don't. Also for saying how many the recipe serves!

Bak choy is Cantonese, a Chinese dialect. Bak choy means white vegetable. You pronounced bak choy so well. ☺

[@karenkay8928]

I make this recipe...but use regular bok choy. The baby bok choy seems to cook faster. I will have to search for the baby version. Thank you Ivo!

[@desireeretiree]

It's just Bok choy picked young, it's not a different type. Very easy to grow!

I grow my own hydroponic bok choy in a green house

[@alrod7ify]

Didn't it come out bitter? Cuz you burnt garlic and onion??

[@3v249]

I disagree, sir unfortunately, I believe that is referred to here in the states as baby Pak Choy or Shanghai Choi Even though my fellow brother in here would probably disagree since most of the grocery stores it’s available at do refer it as bok choi or choy as the spelling differs from region to region and social groups. Regardless to any of that, I did enjoy the video. The recipe that you display here was quite excellent and full of flavor. Keep up the good work. Kindest regards.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks for your feedback

[@bruriahadary4752]

It is too slow. You can cut the show in half.

[@Patt12]

They must be very salt three tbs soy sauce for small amount of green

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

....yes...you can use less soy sauce and add enough to taste 👍👍

[@c.wilson-brown9336]

Too much soy for the amount of bok choy. But it really looks scrumptious!@😊

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

....I know...I like my soy but you can use half the amount or add enough soy to your taste liking :) Hope you give it a try, 👍👍

[@c.wilson-brown9336]

Can't seem to find bok choy here in The Netherlands. What will be an equivalent substitute? Paksoy? I think they all family

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

@@c.wilson-brown9336 pak choi is actually the same plant as bok choy so go ahead and try it👍👍

Thanks for sharing your feedback and tips👍👍

[@Ally-oi6lm]

This bok Choy is overcooked; you can tell by the color of the bok choy n also it looks a bit soggy. No need to cook them for so long which also causes the nutrients to be cooked out. You can just cook them w some oil w a little ginger n salt for about 5 minutes add a tablespoon of water towards the end of cooking time.

[@sukryronde460]

Olive oil is never used in chinese cooking but in arabic and Mediterranean cooking yes. It is unusual

[@jjooeegg1]

Burning the garlic that long. What da fc 😮?????????

[@paulaventura5283]

Sorry but the garlic was burnt. You should have put it in when you put the bok Choi in.

[@marthapetru2318]

Garlic should never be your first ingredient it gets bitter with fried too long. That said I was happy to see the ingredients you used.

[@deborahallen2833]

Garlic IS the first ingredient. You have to flavor the olive oil. That's the whole point of the garlic. Both Italian and Asian cooking flavor the oil first. That's not burnt. If you aren't able to control the temperature, slice the garlic thinly and remove it after flavoring the oil and before it burns.

[@ryycarter1623]

You want your garlic burnt

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Garlic often gets burnt by KZbin chefs! They don't seem to get it that garlic is NOT the same as onion, and needs much less cooking!

[@ericeandco]

Brown a garlic clove(till golden) and remove or make garlic oil.

[@michellen2325]

Delicious, but too much soy sauce/salt

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

...yes...please adjust the amount of soya sauce/salt to taste and it will be delicious :)

[@peppergirl231able]

Look delicious way too much soy sauce for me

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

....yes...you can definitely use less, depending on your taste 👍👍Hope you give it a try

[@ml-is7or]

Over cooked & too much soy sauce. The leaves are not green any more because he spent too much time to cook . Should use high heat and less time to cook vegetables.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

...yes...you can certainly cut down on the soy sauce and just add it to taste instead :)

[@johnbrazell2433]

Soya?? I have never heard anyone pronounce soy like that. Mindy at SoupedUpRecipes as a better version.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

...no worries and thanks for your feedback 👍👍

[@deniseteiper716]

You are such a noisy eater! Maybe move the microphone when chewing! I’ll definitely try this with soy sauce, but much less and cook the onions and garlic less so they aren’t so dark. I have a bag in my fridge, so it’s what’s for dinner!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

thanks for the feedback and enjoy :)

[@deniseteiper716]

@@CookingwiththeCoias my dinner came out beautifully! I added chicken and thickened the sauce a little to add over rice…delish! I’ll definitely be checking back for new recipes!

SOYA Sauce??? It’s SOY SAUCE!

You should have used oyster sauce instead of dark soy. You totally ruined it.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Thanks for your feedback and all the best to you👍ps give soy sauce a try someday, use about half the amount I did I think you will be surprised as to how delicious this really is👍☺️

[@boeinglaugan8539]

Overcooked. Look at the leaves they are dead.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Although this is how I like them, you can certainly cook them for half the time if preferred 👍👍 Thanks for writing in 😊

Flipping the ingredients gets better coverage. Married to a Chinese wife, the way to eat bok Choi is steamed and the topped with quality oyster sauce. It’s a rather plain dish but it tastes so good.
