For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock. Adding a clove of minced garlic along with the bok choy enhances the savory flavor. Ensure the lid is tight-fitting to properly steam the rice.
A fragrant and subtly sweet take on classic steamed rice, this dish features tender bok choy infused with the rich flavor of chicken stock, creating a simple yet satisfying side.
Melt butter in a deep wok or wide pot over medium heat. Add bok choy and stir-fry until soft. (Approximately 5 minutes)
Add chicken stock and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil. Add rice, olive oil, and chives and stir well.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook. (Approximately 20 minutes). Check rice after 10 minutes to make sure it is pacing well; overcooking will turn the rice dry, undercooking will produce hard rice. Season with pepper and serve.
