Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice, half the vegetarian oyster sauce and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- While rice cooks, peel, then mince or grate ginger.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt!)
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then snow peas, bok choy and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp, 2-3 min.
- Add remaining vegetarian oyster sauce. Stir to coat. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then salmon and ginger. Cook, stirring often, until salmon starts to turn opaque, 1-2 min.
- Add brown sugar, fish sauce and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook, stirring often, until salmon is lightly glazed and cooked through, 2-3 min.**
- Fluff rice with fork, then stir in half the crispy shallots.
- Divide rice between plates.
- Top with veggies, then salmon.
- Spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over top.
- Sprinkle green onions and remaining crispy shallots over top.
If you've opted for salmon, pat dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook salmon in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the shrimp.**
