One of my New Year’s resolutions is to seriously lose weight. One of the moves I am taking is to prepare healthy foods and introduce more vegetables in our meals. It’s also my first step for a quick weight loss. I am making a weekly meal plan so that I could easily prepare them. I will be sharing with you one of the vegetable dishes I am going to prepare. It’s a very healthy and easy to cook dish. I call it “Steamed Bok Choy with Oyster Sauce”.

Here are the ingredients:

1 bunch Bok Choy or Chinese Cabbage
1 tsp garlic oil*
2 TBSP Oyster Sauce
2 tsp sugar
White pepper
toasted garlic for garnish

Procedure:
1. Blanch the Bok choy and set aside.
2. In a pan, heat the garlic oil then add the oyster sauce and sugar until well blended. Season with pepper and simmer for 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
3. Arrange the Bok Choy in a platter and pour the sauce over the veggies. Top with toasted garlic.

*To make garlic oil, heat ¼ cup of oil and toast about 1 TBSP of chopped garlic until it is golden brown. Turn off the heat. Separate the garlic and oil using the strainer. You may put the garlic in a paper towel to remove excess oil and store it in an airtight container for future use.
