Awakening to a sunny morning, there was a desire for something fresh, crunchy and, well, red. The strawberries are the stars, the bok choy the stripes. Have a festive fourth!
INgredients
1 head bok choy
1 pint fresh strawberries
Process
Remove the leaves from the stem of the bok choy.
Wash the bok choy leaves and strawberries separately.
Place each leaf on your cutting board, and slice horizontally into strips.
Remove the tops from the strawberries and slice them, exposing their red and white centers.
Pour about 1-2 inches of water into a pot. Bring to a boil.
Place the bok choy into bamboo or stainless steamer basket and place on the pot, covered.
Bok choy should take less than a minute to steam: when the green part begins to wilt and the color intensifies, it is done.
Arrange on a serving plate: place the bok choy in the center surrounded with the sliced strawberries.
