Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife Set - Ideal for cutting and preparing ingredients like chicken, mushrooms, and bok choy with precision.

  • Cutting Board - Provides a stable surface to safely prepare your kebab components.

  • Bamboo Steamer (for steaming vegetables) - Perfect for cooking the bok choy without adding fat or oil.

  • Electric Kitchen Mixer - Useful for mixing marinades or doughs if required by any recipe variations.

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons Set - Essential for accurate measurement of ingredients like oils, spices, and seasoning mixes.

  • Cooking Tongs - Helpful for handling hot kebabs on the grill or cooking pan without burning your hands.

  • Grill Brush (optional) - For cleaning the grill surface before cooking to ensure even heating and prevent sticking.

  • Kitchen Timer - To keep track of cooking times, especially for precise doneness when flipping kebabs or steaming vegetables.

  • Oven Mitts - Necessary for handling hot pots, pans, or grills safely during preparation and cooking.

  • Paper Towels - Useful for drying ingredients like sliced chicken or cleaning up any mess during the cooking process.

  • Digital Food Scale (optional) - For precise measurements of smaller ingredients, though not essential.

Ingredients

  • 3 large garlic cloves

  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1/3 cup dry Sherry

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled ginger

  • 2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

  • 1 1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 1 pound baby bok choy (5 to 6 heads)

  • 1/2 pound large cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed flush with caps

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 14 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes.

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt.
2

Instruction 2

Boil soy sauce, Sherry, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, ginger, and sesame oil, then cool to room temperature.
3

Instruction 3

Pour half of marinade into a large sealable bag and chill remainder for basting. Add chicken to bag and marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 3 hours.
4

Instruction 4

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
5

Instruction 5

Meanwhile, halve bok choy lengthwise and blanch in a large pot of boiling salted water (2 Tbsp salt for 5 qt water) until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Pat bok choy very dry, then, bending leaves, thread 3 or 4 halves (through bulb and leaves) onto each of 3 or 4 skewers. Put on a tray.
6

Instruction 6

Toss mushrooms with vegetable oil. Thread mushrooms (through sides) and chicken (discard marinade) onto remaining skewers, alternating them. Put on another tray.
7

Instruction 7

Oil grill rack, then grill chicken-and-mushroom skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, 6 minutes. Turn over and baste with some of remaining marinade, then grill, turning and basting occasionally (but not during last 3 minutes), until chicken is just cooked through and mushrooms are tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
8

Instruction 8

Lightly brush bok choy with oil and grill, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes total.
