[Limit Cooking💦] Kids gobble it up😊 Revived Bok Choy with Thick Sauce🦸 | Fridge empty?😱 Even without meat🍖, the kids fight over this dad-style meal✨
"Dinner tonight, no meat... and not enough eggs!" This "Bok Choy with Thick Sauce" will save you from that desperate pinch and have the kids cheering.
A super easy, revived microwave recipe from a solo-parent dad that uses a microwave cooker to ensure it never burns and never fails!
This time, it's a real-deal, limit-cooking meal for men using the ultimate microwave cooker to completely eliminate the "fear of burning" from my kitchen.
Going back a few years. Ever since I first made it in 2023,
I recreated this bok choy dish that the kids gobbled up and loved so much
using my microwave cooker, with my real-life notes from back then in hand👍
I opened the fridge with full enthusiasm, thinking, "Alright, I'll make my special dad-style thick sauce!" but the moment I did, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Wait... there's no pork?"
"Huh? And there's only one egg left!!"
Well, I've hit the limit💦
This recipe was supposed to have three eggs and plenty of pork bits. But, I had run out of my stock. This is the ultimate everyday occurrence for a solo-parent dad.
However, a dad like me doesn't panic here. With the "unshakable god-like mentality" I gained through fasting and my trusty microwave cooker, I'll turn this despair of having no meat and not enough eggs into laughter in an instant🔥.
So, with that,
"Meat-free and healthy! Dad's foolproof, never-burn bok choy thick sauce"
begins now💪🦸!
First, the star of the show: bok choy. A kitchen knife?
I don't use such fancy things.
I "tear the bok choy"
into leaves and stems by hand👊
Tear the stems in half lengthwise by hand as you like👍.
Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces by hand too😆.
Pretty wild, right?💪🔥 (A life hack to save the trouble of washing a knife😁).
1 egg (really should be 3... I ran out of stock...)
1 tsp sugar (beet sugar)
A pinch of salt (about a dash)
Mix these together.
In the microwave cooker,
spread 1/2 tbsp of rice oil evenly,
add the egg,
600w for 1 minute
Once the beep goes off,
mix it, put the lid on,
and 600w for 20 seconds
Yes, fluffy eggs are done in no time. Setting them aside for now,
take the eggs out.
This is where the true skill of a microwave magician comes in👍.
Throw in the bok choy stems and coat them with oil (*The dad later deeply regretted not just putting the oil and stems in a plastic bag and shaking them from the start💦).
Put the lid on and 600w for 3 minutes
Mix, put the lid on,
and 600w for 1 minute
Add 1 tbsp of sake,
put the lid on,
and 600w for 1 minute 30 seconds
Add the leaves and mix.
Once the leaves have wilted a bit,
cover with a lid,
and microwave at 600W for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Now, for the secret to the flavor, the special thick sauce makes its appearance✨.
1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder,
1 tbsp oyster sauce,
5 tbsp water,
mix these together and add them in,
cover with a lid,
and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
The moment it dings, quickly open the lid and immediately...
1 tsp potato starch,
1/2 tbsp water,
pour this in quietly but quickly!‼️
Mix with all your might until it thickens🔥👊
Add the egg you had on standby—the (supposed) star of the show—mix it in,
cover with a lid,
and microwave at 600W for 50 seconds.
Last spurt!
To add volume in place of meat,
toss in some thick fried tofu coated in potato starch,
and one sheet of deep-fried tofu,
mix it all in with a bang,
cover with a lid for the final finish,
and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes.
When it dings,
open the lid wide, mix it all together dynamically, and...
"Super rich even without meat! Bok Choy with Thick Egg Sauce" is complete!👍💪
I was actually planning to add some sliced pork🐽 to this, but I was out of stock😅
Well, anyway, it's a dad-style meal that won't burn!!🦸🙌
Microwave cooking is just the best, isn't it?👍😊
Today is meat-free and healthy✨👨🍳
Grateful for this small happiness, everyone smiles and says,
Itadakimasu!🙏😊
Even without meat, and with just one egg, if you have the wisdom of the age that is the microwave, the dinner table will be filled with laughter and smiles😁
Next time, I'd like to reveal an even more evolved, limit-breaking microwave menu: "A Single Dad's Late-Night Microwave Experiments"😆!
Don't miss the next challenge from the man who ditched his frying pan👊 (Just kidding, though😁)!
By the way, I lost to the heat today and was feeling a bit under the weather, so I spent the day in bed, waking up and falling back asleep💦
Well... some days are just like that😅
