Hearts of Bok Choy

2 1/2 pounds hearts of baby bok choy or large bok choy, stem end and leaf tips trimmed
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
2 1/2 tablespoons minced scallions, white part only
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar or Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon hot chile paste or dried chile flakes

Trim the tough outer leaves from the bok choy. Rinse and drain. Cut the leaves along the length in half. Cut the halves and stems into 2 inch sections. Using your hands, toss the ginger and scallions with the bok choy in a bowl.

Arrange the bok choy on a heatproof plate or a piece of parchment or wax paper in a steamer basket.

Fill a pot or wok with several inches of water and heat until boiling.
Place the cabbage in the steamer. Steam for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients to make the dressing.

Arrange the steamed bok choy on a serving platter, spoon some of the dressing over the top and serve.
Serves 6.
