Bok Choy Stir-Fry
"This is a wonderful side dish for an Asian style entree. Bok choy has a wonderful, crisp texture that is reminiscent of celery. You can easily add shrimp or chicken to make a main dish, but I recommend doubling the sauce if you do so. Simple and yummy:)"

Good recipe! I separated the whites of the bok choy from the leaves - I used the whole thing and didn't measure. Cooking the white parts first and then adding the greens at the end of the cooking. As others suggested I added sliced baby bella mushrooms, snap peas and some shrimp and doubled the sauce. Very tasty over brown rice. Next time I will add some spice to heat it up a bit. -
Very good! could have definately added double the bok choy. I did end up putting about 1 1/2 cups of celery in with the bok choy and added both walnuts and a package of ramen noodles, minus the seasoning packet. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be making it again soon! -
Made lots of tweaks only used half amount of soy sauce, half a stock cube, added lots of other vege and chicken plus noodles to make it a main. Was still heaps of sauce doing it this way.

Yum, yum, and yum is all I have to say. I've never cooked with Bok Choy. I'm so glad this was the first recipe I tried!!! My spouse even said "Nice dish!" (and to hear that from my picky eater says a lot!). I added some asparagus spears I needed to use up and I thought the sauce thickened perfectly.This one is being added to the recipe book and will make again! Thanks for sharing. -
Delicious, though too much sauce, yummy flavor. Whole family enjoyed! Thank you for a delightful recipe. Great way to use my garden grown shanghai bok choy.

Added thin sliced grilled boneless chicken breast.

I added chicken,mushrooms,baby corn, and water chestnuts ,,its amazing. The sauce is more then enough even with the added ingredients. I added everything with the boch choy except the chicken which I grilled and added whe adding the sauce.

This was good. I found it a little salty, so I think next time I will just use chicken broth instead of bouillon cube. I also agree that more bok choy could be added. There was lots of sauce. I didnt try it with any other veggies but I think the snow peas would be yummy in it. Its a keeper. Thanks Manda -
This was easy and delicious! I used fresh ginger instead of ground and replaced the olive oil with sesame. I also put some sesame seeds in the sauce. I added sliced portobella mushrooms and some leftover turkey, and even with those additions we had more than enough sauce. Next time I will probably put this over rice. We really loved the sauce! No one spice or flavor stood out more than another, it was just a really nice blend. Thank you for this yummy recipe!

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!)
I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit.
My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
