Less traditional grilled foods still delicious
While cabbage might not be the i rst food people
think of when they think of grilling, that does not
mean cabbage and the foods that fall under the
cabbage umbrella cannot be grilled. Bok choy is
part of the cabbage family and tastes excellent when
grilled. If grilled bok choy appeals to your taste
buds, consider i ring up the grill and preparing the
following recipe for “Blackened Beef with h ai Chile
Noodles and Baby Bok Choy” from Karen Adler and
Judith Fertig’s “h e Gardener & h e Grill” (Running
Press).
BLACKENED BEEF WITH
THAI CHILE NOODLES AND BABY BOK
CHOY

1 tablespoon chile oil (available at Asian markets),
optional
1⁄4 cup seasoned rice vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 small chile pepper of your choice, seeded and
minced
1 garlic clove, minced
