Bok Choy Steamed Rice

This was very good and a nice change from the plain ole rice side. I found it needed at least twice the amount of soy sauce if not more. I probably ended up with almost a tablespoon in there and my husband was still reaching for the salt. It cooked up perfectly with the times stated.

This was very good, and I'm glad to have another way to squeeze in healthy Bok Choy. I did use extra Soy Sauce and a dash more Spicy Thai Chili Sauce which was the closest I could find to chili-garlic sauce. I served it with Soy-Honey-Ginger broiled Salmon (from a cookbook, not from this site sorry!). I used Jasmine Rice instead of White Rice and the cooking time and water to rice ratios were tricky so I had to wing it and it still turned out very good. Thanks Chef John! Loved the video too. :-) See my photo!

This recipe was in my e-mail today. I was looking for a recipe for spinach. I substituted chicken broth for water. Added extra soy & extra garlic sauce. Used toasted sesame sauce. Not the seeds. Not a fan. I know that I'll get a lot of grief for a review with substitutions, but today there's sleet & ice outside so I'll settle for spinach.

Awesome will make again

I added more soy and chili sauce like other reviews recommended. It was awesome and totally hit the spot when I was craving cold Chinese food the next morning too!

I’ve never made bok choy and this just caught my eye. Delicious! Messed up on directions and put everything in with the rice (except the leaves) but it turned out fine. I used Trader Joe’s soyaki in place of the sauce and a dash more soy sauce but thought it was plenty seasoned. I was worried the water was not enough but it turned out perfect. I want to try with brown rice next.

I used my rice cooker for this, and started out by doubling the amount of rice to 2 cups. I was surprised at the water-to-rice ratio in the recipe, as I always do 2:1 water to rice, but I gave it a try, thinking maybe the water in the bok choi would help. Sure enough, the rice was way undercooked by the time the cooker shut off, with only 3 cups of water and the bok choi stems. So I added another cup of water. The soy sauce amount was too little so I added a lot more to taste. Same with the chili pepper and garlic. As for the sesame seeds, really, only 1/4 teaspoon in the original recipe? Even doubling it for my doubled trial was not enough, but I love sesame seeds so I added a couple tablespoons of them. The whole thing was sticky, messy-looking, and bland. To my serving in a bowl, I added more sesame oil, garlic and pepper sauce, and soy sauce to make it palatable. Maybe this is meant to be a bland dish and I just prefer spicier foods. Better that I make a pot of plain rice and have fresh greens separately than try to mix them in a hot dish.

this was our first time using Bok choy and we loved it. The only change we did was curry paste and garlic powder for the sambal...all we had.

I love this but I used wild rice and instead of water I used chicken. I would definitely cook this again....probably by the end of the week as my husbands garden is producing the most beautiful bok choy.

Yummy! I added extra soy sauce and few more sesame seed.

This was simple and tasted awesome! And my dream bride of 32 years complimented me on it. Had it with sous vide then seared chicken.

Perfect compliment to an asian meal. Really enjoyed this.

I would say that this is only for those who love bok choy. This was my first time working with bok choy and I didn't realize that the "adult" version was pretty bitter. I might have liked this more with baby bok choy. Even then I found that this recipe lacked much flavor and my rice ended up being a little dry in the end (though I'm sure that's something that could be corrected with cooking time). I did want to mention that the bok choy stems and leaves were nicely tender by the end, so this recipe is great for that!

I couldn't get bok choy so used spinach instead & it was very nice! Also served with 2Tbls of roasted sesame seeds as we are all crazy about them

Really nice recipe, definitely would recommend and no need to make any changes just make it like Chef John wrote the recipe

I made this last evening as a side for a pork stir fry. I followed the recipe but omitted the sambal as I didn't want it to compete with the flavors of the stir fry. This recipe is a good way to add extra fiber to the meal and dress up plain rice. The toasted sesame seeds complete the dish visually. As a Westerner who lived in Hong Kong, I couldn't bring myself to add the soy sauce to the uncooked rice. Soy sauce was on the table for those who wished to add it. Thanks for the idea Chef John, I'll add it to my repertoire.

I added triple soya sauce, sambal and sesame oil. I added boiled eggs to it and next time I would double the bok choi and do not add the sesame oil

I added extra soy sauce but that was the only change I made. This is a very enjoyable and tasty side dish. We loved it.

Mixed reviews from my kids and husband. Some loved and some thought okay.

Have made it several times

My family liked this rice and wants me to make it again. I didn't even add the soy sauce. Not because I don't like it or felt it wouldn't work with the other ingredients. I didn't have any! I normally have some in the house but nope not this time. I will add it next time I make this dish. I didn't give it five stars only because I didn't add the soy sauce so I didn't follow the recipe as written

Add fresh ginger

so simple and a good way to use up all the bok choy in the CSA. and even my picky eaters love it.

This recipe was a surprise hit in my household. I didn't make enough. It was a very simple recipe that was super tasty and I was able to get the kids to eat more veggies.

this was fabulous, i used a lot of bok choy and the rice nicely held it together. great way to get kids to eat their vegetables.

It was a simple and easy healthy meal :-)

Love the concept of healthy and creative! This is what interested me in this recipe. I was pleased with the it however, after following the directions my rice did not cook through. It has promise but, I think the time needs to be adjusted.

used powered chili and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil

This receipt just didn't live up to what I expected. I like bok choy grilled but not so much cooked.

This was really tasty. I will definitely make it again. I will add some garlic for a bit more flavor

Good way to use bok choy but I want to add more sauce next time. Found it kind of bland as is.
