Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon, diced into 1” (2 cm) pieces
- 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 cup water (or chicken broth)
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 thumb ginger, minced (and extra sliced for garnish, optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 4 heads baby bok choy, halved (quartered if using larger heads)
Instructions
- Combine the salmon and Shaoxing wine in a medium sized bowl. Mix well and marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients. Drain off any excess liquid. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup water (or chicken broth) to a large nonstick pan and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Add the baby bok choy, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cover the pan. Cook for 1 minute or until the bok choy has softened to your desired texture. Transfer the bok choy to a large plate and wipe any residual water using a paper towel.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil into the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Spread out the salmon without overlapping. Let cook, flipping occasionally, until both sides have become golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the same plate with the baby bok choy.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, garlic, ginger, and green onion. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.
- Pour in the sauce and turn to medium heat. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce with aromatics over the salmon and bok choy. Garnish with sliced ginger, if using. Serve hot as a main dish.
Notes
- This dish can be served with rice for a complete meal.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce to taste.
