The umami-rich brown sauce is a natural to drizzle on vegetables and glaze salmon. Add a side of wild rice, and dinner is yours.

Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Shanghai or baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
  • 2 Tbs neutral-tasting oil (like peanut, grapeseed, safflower, or sunflower)
  • 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbs. ketchup
  • 1 Tbs. reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs. oyster sauce
  • ½ tsp. brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. On a large rimmed baking pan, brush the cut side of the bok choy with the oil. Roast, cut side down with the bulbs facing the edge of the pan, until the stems are lightly browned, 12–15 minutes. Turn the bulbs to cut side up and remove from the oven.
  3. Make the brown sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce and the remaining ingredients.
  4. Drizzle 1 Tbs. of the sauce over the bok choy. Save the rest for another use, like my Glazed Salmon.
