Ingredients
2-1/2 Tbs. peanut oil
1-1/2 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
1/2 Tbs. minced garlic
1/4 cup mirin
1-1/2 Tbs. white miso
1 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 Tbs. rice vinegar
1/4 tsp. Sriracha
1 Tbs. toaster sesame oil
2 lb. baby bok choy, quartered or halved lengthwise
1 cup roasted cashews
Directions
Heat 1/2 Tbs. of the peanut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the mirin, miso, lime juice, vinegar, and Sriracha, and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in the sesame oil, transfer to a heatproof bowl, and keep warm.
Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 2 Tbs. peanut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the bok choy, toss gently, and then cover and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and browned on some edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter, drizzle with the dressing and cashews, and serve.
