Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-low heat. Add the zha cai, ginger, and whites of the green onion. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they become fragrant and just start to brown.
- Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
- Add the bok choy and bring the stock back up to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the bok choy is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the greens of the green onion and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Adjust the seasonings to taste with a pinch of sugar, salt, or a splash of the zha cai pickle liquid. (*Footnote 2)
Notes
- Depending on the brand of zha cai you buy, it comes in different sizes. If you bought the whole stems, cutting them into thin slices is the best way to release the flavor. If you bought the cut type, then you can add them directly into the soup.
- The flavor of the soup is largely determined by the type of vegetable stock and the brand of zha cai you buy. Adjust the taste at the end according to your taste.
