Bok choy is a great vegetable for many reasons; it's cheap, it takes about 3 minutes to cook, it has a beautiful subtle sweet flavor, and of course it's packed with nutritional goodness.

Good base but found it a bit bland. Added hoisin sauce to the finished dish to liven it up. Read More

The best bok choy recipe we've tried. We received one large head of bok choy in our weekly CSA box and kept the remaining ingredients as the recipe original calls. Perfect! Read More

I love Bok Choy. I would leave out the soy sauce if I make it again. I thought it just made it too salty without any flavor boost. Maybe replace it with rice wine vinegar? Read More

So delicious and great for a quick, healthy side dish! I wasn't feeling the red bell pepper tonight so I used Cremini mushrooms instead, cooking them an additional 4 or 5 minutes before adding the white bok choy stalks. I also had a skillet of fond left over from making some pork tenderloin, so I cooked this in that pan for additional flavor! Worked beautifully. Read More

Fantastic dish! The only variation I did was sub with a yellow pepper because I didn't have a red one. I know all peppers have different tastes but this one worked too. YES I will be making this again and again! Thanks for posting the video. Read More
