From Bodine's Garden - Bok Choi

[TheyDontSee]

it's good stir fried in sesame oil. Another thing you can do is give it a quick bath in boiling water, let it cool off, then pour some Ponzu sauce over it (it;s an Asian citrusy sauce.. you'll find it by the soy sauce in the store) and just eat it cold. Refreshing!

[josephdupont]

why dig them up? just cut them and let them grow more.. it takes the cold and requires very little sun.

I planted some a few days ago when will i start seeing the germenation results?



[SuperGjose]

great job! please send me tips on how to grow them right...my bok choys are getting yellowish leaves....help me please......................

[nematube]

Yeah, totally all thumbs up for dude Choi!

[vicmanb]

I love your enthusiasm!

[ketammerah1]

wow so big? what kind fertilizer u use? what method u use? hydroponics? compos tea? aeroponics? 5 star for u Sir!!

[bored1980]

That's a good one, and it's such an easy thing to grow too! Every seed I plant sprouts and they just don't stop growing.

A pack of seeds costs $2 and you get 100 bok choi from it (the supermarket sells them for $3 each!). That's $300 worth of dinner for $2!

[Chordwayze]

Help Scott! That's one big dandelion! Where'd it grow? In Texas? Enjoy it m'man.

Alla best..

Hello John. It was delicious! It's related to Collards that you asked about in my other Video, as are the other Cabbage-related Vegetables.

[FinnishKnife]

I eat it the same way you do.I LOVE that stuff! Gosh, your garden must be wonderful!

[DieselBodine]

Hello FinnishKnife. My garden's coming along. I'm looking forward to more fine eating! 8-)

[debswildhoney]

Awesome video. I like Bok Choi too - that looks so healthy! You look so happy here. Cheers to garden gifts.

[DieselBodine]

Hello Deb. My garden, its tasty offerings and the visual effect do make me quite happy. 8-)

[DewaMusic]

[DieselBodine]

Hello DewaMusic. Thanks for dropping by! 8-)

[dereksmalls1985]

It's good to see you looking happy, Scott! Nicely done on the bok choi! :-D

[DieselBodine]

Hello Ross. Life has its ups and downs, but the happy stuff sure makes up for the bummers!

[CozmikzenArchives]

i never had it before. but im interested to try! it was pretty lookin.

[DieselBodine]

Hello Coz. If you like Cabbage, you'll like Bok Choi, since it is Cabbage... Chinese Cabbage. 8-)

[mwest1234]

What a fine specimen of botanical biology. I like to stir fry it, too. Especially with other vegetables, snow peas, mushrooms, carrots, onions, and garlic.

[DieselBodine]

Hello mwest. Fine list of ingredients you have there. Maybe I'll have some of my leftovers for breakfast before I go to work today!

[ftom2006]

Cool presentation! Havn't met anyone of Mr Choi's closer family before. That well feeded guy certainly seems to make a great companion!

[DieselBodine]

Hello Frank. Mr. Choi is quite the pal. He readily hops in the pot and helps cook up a tasty meal. 8-)

[GlimpseAfterGlimpse]

this is the shortest "talk video" i have seen from u. the Bok Choi is a thing of beauty. the way prices are now for food, i think i better start growing my own food.

michael

[DieselBodine]

Hello Michael. Not only does it save money and taste good, but it's fun to look at and watch grow! 8-)

[Rhonda9]

Wow! You have a green thumb! I have never seen one like that at the store.

[DieselBodine]

Hello Rhonda. I have 3 more to pick. I hope they don't get too much bigger. They won't fit in my wok! 8-)

[julesandmax]

bc is very good with soba noodles ... saute with shiitake mushrooms, ginger, mirin, jalapenoes, scallions & garlic in sesame oil, very yummy trust me :-)

*****

[DieselBodine]

Hello Jules and Max.  That sounds delicious! 8-)

[windham666]

hahahaha so glad you a happy monkey boy

[Rhonda9]

LOL OMG

[CDmagz]

Blimey everything is bigger in your country!! What a beaut!! You call it Bok Choi we call it Pak Choi over here in Europe

Your onions over there are as big as a football too aren't they!! And when you order a kidsmeal in your country it is an European adult size. Bok choi is nice with Ho fan (thick white noodles)

Cheers

[DieselBodine]

Hi CDmagz. They call it Bok Choy in the supermarket, but they sell the baby plants labeled Pak Choi. These Bok Choi grow fast! I should buy seeds, but in this case I bought little plants... now see what monsters they turned in to! We do have big onions. Maybe not the size of a football, but bigger than a softball. 8-)

[CDmagz]

Can we order for next year a dozen of your Bok Choys

xx

[SqwishTV]

Well, I don't think I've ever had Bok Choi but you could probably make money by promoting this stuff as Bodine's Bodacious Bok Choi. That's one heck of a great looking cabbage! Seriously, though this video could make a great commercial; I certainly got a chuckle from it. It's wonderful to see so much pride and happiness that you displayed while making this video. You made my day. :-)

[DieselBodine]

Hello Sqwish. No pole peas or pole beans this year, but I'm going to have some fine other stuff, lest unforeseen circumstances prevent the impending harvest thereof. 4 kinds of Eggplant, 'maters, various types of peppers, and some other fun things. 8-)

[dhaffner101]

Hey Scott, believe me, this is great eatin', and U must really have the green thumb to grow 1 of that size and texture!

Man I gotta get going on mine, it'll be the usual, tomatoes and peppers, I might plant red, yellow and orange peppers though.

[DieselBodine]

Yo Bro D., get them thar 'maters goin'! I have a least one small green one now on my plants, of which I think I planted 10 of various kinds. I'll make a quick ''From Bodine's Garden'' video every time I harvest something new.

Should be fun! 8-)

[dhaffner101]

I'll get 'em going, I always grow the big boy tomatoes, the hybrid ones, they tend to grow better without dusting for bugs. The peppers seem to repel all the nasties, the chyenne and Jalepenos grow the best here. I'll still have to put a cage up, there is a ground hog who loves to eat the 'maters!

[DieselBodine]

Hello Bro D., I don't put pesticides on anything. Let a few bugs have a bite to eat, too. Shoot. I just realized I had picked something else and ate it. My Boston Bibb Lettuce. Maybe another video coming soon! LOL & 8-)

[dhaffner101]

Part3., Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok.When oil is ready, carefully add the dumplings and cook on high heat until golden brown (about 1 minute). Without turning the dumplings over, add 1/2 cup of water and cover. Cook for about 1 minute to cook the raw filling and then uncover and continue cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Serve the potstickers with the burnt side on top, with potsticker dipping sauce or soy sauce mixed with minced ginger for dipping.

[DieselBodine]

Yo Bro D., yup... that sounds pretty delicious! 8-)

[dhaffner101]

Cont., Lay out one of the gyoza wrappers in front of you. Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.

Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper.

Fold the gyoza wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it shut. (You may want to use a cornstarch/water mixture to make this easier).

[dhaffner101]

Preparation:

Drain the tofu, cut into cubes and mash. Wash and prepare the vegetables. Combine the tofu with the remainder of the ingredients and seasonings.

[dhaffner101]

Vegetarian Potstickers! • 1/2 pound firm tofu • 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot • 1/2 cup finely chopped bok choy • 1/4 cup finely chopped water chestnuts • 1/4 cup finely chopped bamboo shoots • 1/4 cup finely chopped garlic chives • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 package potsticker or gyoza wrappers • 2 tablespoons oil for frying the dumplings

[CDmagz]

yum

[DieselBodine]

Hi CDmagz... you betcha! Deeee-licious!  8-)

[dhaffner101]

Man oh man Scott! Thats a monster!! Usually ya find half that size in the market, got a recipie for ya my main man!!

[DieselBodine]

Hey Bro D.! That sounds like one helluva concoction your drummin' up. I'm currently missing half the ingredients, but I have 3 more Bok Choi that need some serious eating before too long. I'm not sure how big they can get before their optimum eating characteristics start to fade.

[delbhoye]

Your garden is a culinary education ... I never even heard of Bok Choi before! His expression didn't even change as you gnawed his leaves off ... what an inscrutable vegetable! :oD

[DieselBodine]

Hello, Derek. There are lots of cool vegetables that many people never tried, but they taste great... once you get past the unfamiliarity of the flavor... Okra, Collards, Fava Beans, etc.. Mmm, that's some fine eatin'!

[HeavenSlut07]

Greetings Bok Choi!!! why you look extremly lush,OH NOOOO SCOTT DONT KILL HIM WITH YOUR NASHERS!!! hahaha

Make Bok Choi into a nice Stir Fry!! would be yummi i'am sure. :)

[DieselBodine]

Nina... don't worry... plants don't have a central nervous system to register pain like animals do. That's why they're the perfect source for food. 8-)
