Don’t be passin’ by that bok choy and not putting any into your cart or basket. Just 1 cup of this cabbage is going to nourish you with:
- 53% of your daily value for Vitamin C
- 11% of your daily value for Folate
- 42% of your daily value for Vitamin A
- 74 mg of Calcium
- 1250 mcg of Beta-Carotene
Why wouldn’t you want to eat it?! (Am I the only one that gets this excited about nutrients like this??) And here is a very easy recipe to enjoy it in.
Halibut with Bok Choy – adapted from World’s Healthiest Foods
I had an onion and bell pepper on hand so I used those in this dish. But you can use any of your favorite vegetables. Mushrooms would be a nice addition as well.
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 4 steaks of halibut
- 5 cups of bok choy, cut into 1/2 inch slices (bite size pieces)
- Put a steamer basket into a pot and put enough water in just to cover the bottom, about 2 inches, and bring water to a boil.
- Place the onion, red bell pepper, and halibut (in that order), cover and steam for about 3 minutes.
- Then add the bok choy to the steamer basket and steam for another 3 minutes.
- Then place the halibut on top of the onion, pepper, bok choy mix.
I served it with some quinoa. I also just drizzled some Tamari sauce on top. But here is a dressing that is super delicious
on it:
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Tamari
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Your body will thank you for it~
