Instructions
- Separate the bok choy leaves and wash them well. Mud tends to get stuck between the stem.
- Slice your bok choy leaves and keep aside.
- Slice your green onions as well. Keep the white bulb slices and green stalk separate. We will use the green stalk slices as a garnish.
- Heat up a pan with the oil and fry your green onion bulbs soft.
- Take from the heat and add the ginger garlic. Careful, if you use the paste, it can splatter.
- Take it back to the heat and add the bok choy to the pan, stir cook for a minute.
- Then throw in the star anise, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick.
- Pour the broth or stock into the pan over the spices and bok choy.
- Season with soy sauce and vinegar.
- Mix everything, bring to a boil and let the soup cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Take form the heat and pour the lime juice into the soup. Mix it all well.
- Pick out your whole spices, the cinnamon, bay leaf and star anise. Discard the spices.
- Serve the soup hot garnished with the green onion stalks, red pepper flakes and/or sesame seeds/oil.
Notes
- Use Ginger Garlic Paste as it blends into the soup or as an alternative, chopped fine fresh ginger and garlic with a ratio of 1:2.
- Stock can be liquid or in cubes. Just mix it with the water. I tend to use vegetable broth, but you can pick chicken or beef broth if you prefer. Use homemade stock for the best flavor experience, or just the commercially available version.
- Use Rice Vinegar or other mild vinegar variations, such as a mild regular white vinegar.
