The whole vegetable is browned and then wet cooked in a flavorful liquid. Here's how I do it;
Braised Baby Bok Choy
2 tablespoons oil
8 or so baby bok choy, whole
flavorful liquid (I just eyeball the amounts);
water
oyster sauce
hoisin sauce
soy sauce
vinegar
wine
sesame oil
pepper
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the bok choy.
Cook turning occasionally until brown in places.
Add the flavorful liquid, I would say about 3/4 of a cup. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat and cover. I check them every 5 minutes until they are done to my liking.
Remove to a plate. The liquid can be thickened by adding a tablespoon of cornstarch and bring back to the boil for a moment. Be sure to taste for seasoning before spooning it on the vegetables as it can end up quite salty.
