  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock
  • 1 bunch baby bok choy, bottoms trimmed but stalks left whole with some still 'stuck together',washed (about 3/4 lb.)

We really liked this recipe. The sauce was wonderful, with flavors that really complemented the bok choy. A friend got some bok choy in her CSA box, so we decided this recipe would be a great way to try cooking it for the first time. We added some garlic scapes, which added a nice crunch, and a dose of garlic flavor, which we both really enjoyed. The only change we would make next time is to blanch the bok choy for a shorter time, to retain a bit more crunch in the stalks. Thanks for posting a great recipe!

    I made this for dinner and found that the sauce seems to lack something, so I fry some garlic (2 cloves) in oil and mixed into the sauce before pouring over the bok choy. Thanks for the simple, tasty recipe; which will much repeated!

    My my my my my! Unbelieveable! Brilliant - what more can I say? The only thing I did differently was added only a 1/4 of the amount of soy sauce and added a little more sesame oil and sprinkled sesame seeds onto it once served! Only used a third of the sauce too.Well done! whoo hooooooooooo Great tatse!
