This sauce is soooo soooooo soooooooooooooo good. On bok choy, asparagus, or many many other veggies. Try it out!
Ingredients
  • ½ c. raw cashews
  • ¼ c. rice wine (or white wine) vinegar
  • ¼ c. white sugar
  • ¼ c. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Minced Ginger root
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • About 1-1.5# Bok Choy
  • ¼ c. Driftless Sunflower Oil (peanut or canola oil is a good substitute)

Instructions
  1. Toast cashews in a dry skillet, tossing frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Combine cashews, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, pepper flakes and 2-4 Tbsp water into a blender/food processor. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Wash bok choy – stems and leaves, making sure to rinse away dirt in the ribs. Separate the leaves from the stalks.
  4. Cut stalks into 1” pieces and roughly chop the leaves.
  5. Heat the oil in a large skillet on high heat until hot, but not smoking.
  6. Add stems and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Add the leaves and cook until they wilt and turn bright green (about another minute or two).
  8. Remove to a platter and cover with cashew sauce, or serve sauce on the side.
