bok-choy-leaves2.JPGI have never been a huge fan of vegetables. As a child I would only eat potatoes and peas and maybe carrots but only if they were raw. These days I am happy to eat anything but I prefer it to have a bit of flavor. That is why I really love this recipe using bok choy. The flavor is quite intense with the mix of oyster sauce, garlic and ginger.

Bok Choy, aka Chinese Cabbage, is as its name suggests a member of the cabbage family. It is one of those vegetables that is not commonly used in Western cooking although it is becoming more popular and more widely available.

Bok Choy can be used in salads, stir frys or steamed for a simple side dish.

This is a very simple recipe and I am sure you will enjoy it.
