How can I store leftover sauteed Bok Choy?

We think this recipe is best when cooked fresh, but if there is leftovers you can store them up to two days. Transfer to a resealable container and store in the refrigerator.

Reheat leftovers in a skillet over high heat until it's just warmed through. Keep covered to heat through quickly and stir often. Do not overcook as the Bok Choy will get mushy.

Instructions

Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet (not non-stick.) Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant and starting to brown, about 30 seconds.
Stir in Bok Choy (the skillet will be full.) Add dry sherry and cover with a well-fitting lid. Let cook 1 ½ to 2 minutes to allow the Bok Choy to soften and wilt.
Remove lid and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring often until the Bok Choy is crisp tender, and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in scallions and remove from the heat. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Ingredient Note

While we love baby bok choy served whole, we prefer chopped mature bok choy for sauteeing.

Prep Ahead

This can be prepped up to three days ahead. Cut the garlic and ginger and keep in a small air-tight container. Chop and wash the Bok Choy. Keep in a resealable bag or snap lock container.

How To Chop and Clean Bok Choy

Slice the head of the Bok Choy in half down the middle. Remove the core with a triangular cut. then chop it crosswise bite-sized pieces for sauteeing. Place in the basket of a salad spinner and submerge in cold tap water. Swish to remove any dirt or debris. Drain and spin dry.
