Bok Choy and Snow Peas Sauté Recipe
When Hubby first made this recipe I was like “ewwwwww bok choy!” Well, Hubby did it again. I hated cabbage until Hubby made me try this frizzled cabbage recipe and I was not a bok choy fan (AT ALL) until Hubby made this Bok Choy and Snow Peas Sauté recipe. Now, I can’t wait to bring the bok choy home for me to make this recipe!
We have received a lot of bok choy from our CSA recently. There is only so much soup Hubby can make, so he did this bok choy sauté a few weeks ago. He used only bok choy and sliced the pieces a lot longer. Well, while we loved the taste (we gobbled it up), the length was not very convenient, so Hubby’s next try was short-wise cutting. And when I brought the snow peas home, they made it into this quick and easy recipe!
He’s made this hundreds of times since I first shared this Bok Choy and Snow Peas Sauté, and I swear it gets better every time.
With snow peas or without snow peas, this sauté is an excellent use of bok choy. Such a simple recipe, yet totally delicious!

Dear Ann, I made dinner tonight for my daughter and my self using your bok choy recipe I did alter it some just doing so out of curiousity, I added some nappa cabbage cut the came as the bok choy and I also added a sprinkle of garlic powder…every thing else was the same as the recipe. WOW….that was just the absolute best…I would never have ever though of buying or using oyster sauce but thanks to you and this wonderful stir fry I did. I made this in conjuction with a salmon fillet poached/fryed in a little dab of butter, lemon juice and sprinkled generously with lemon pepper seasoning, When the butter and lemon juice were starting to get sticky brown on the bottom I just threw in some water and left it poach from there….Those two items were the absolute perfect compliment of each other….I love your bok choy recipe Thank you for posting . I absolutely love your site.
Ann says
Oh I love the addition of napa cabbage, Annette! I will definitely tell Hubby for the next time we make this (we’ve made it a LOT this year!)
Thank you for the idea!
Ann

Ann, on the picture, it looks like you also put some green onions. Also, could this recipe still taste good if I left out the oyster sauce? I have lots of toasted sesame seeds and could put them on top. I could also brown a red onion if that took the place of the oyster sauce. I am very allergic to all seafood.
Ann says
Ursula, you can add whatever vegetables you like to this.
Since oyster sauce is made from oyster extracts, I wouldn’t use it if I were you. However, it is what “makes” this recipe. You’re just going to have a generic stir-fry (not a bad thing) without it.
