- Buy 4 bunches of bok choy- cause is shrinks down to nothing after it’s marinated.
- For your dressing, mix up 2 shots of soy sauce, 1 shot of rice wine vinegar, 3 heaping plops of sugar, a drizzle of sesame oil and a smidgen of fresh minced ginger.
- Sugar-free Option: If you don’t like sugar, (cause you’re sweet enough) another great bok choy dressing option is to mix up a shot of soy sauce, a good drizzle of sesame oil, a plop of fresh minced ginger, a plop of fresh minced garlic, a smidgen of hot pepper flakes and the juice of one nice juicy orange. The orange juice takes the places of the sugar and sweetens things up a notch.
- Clean and slice your bok choy to your liking, then a half hour to an hour before serving toss up in your dressing.
- After being marinated, it softens up just as if you’d cooked it!
- Run super hot water over a bag of fresh frozen corn to thaw out and drain.
- For your dressing mix a couple shots of champagne vinegar with a heaping plop of sugar, a heaping plop of salt, a good pinch of ground cumin and a nice pinch of ground white pepper.
- Toss your corn up in this and then add some diced red bell pepper.
This is so good you won’t believe it. I love this along side a great sandwich. So yummy. Here’s a little added delight. You can take this salad, puree it, add a dash of hot pepper and have a great corn relish too! Fabulous on veg dogs or grilled tofu!
