"Authentic Asian flavour. Ketjap manis is an Indonesian thick, sweet soy sauce found in the Asian section of most grocery stores. Substitute it with 1 teaspoon low sodium sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sugar."

well - I sprang for all the ingredients and used most of my garden harvest of bok choy. When you stir fry in oil first, it seals the greens, and the sauce just slips off, doesn't permeate. I put the sauce on the fish I served with it instead and all enjoyed. The bok choy was nice even without sauce, just stir fried in the oils!

I didn’t realize until the last minute that I was out of ginger.... I did an Indian-twist and used cardamom & curry powder, instead, and it turned out fabulous!! I also added celery & mushrooms before adding the bok choy. Yum!

This bok choy recipe is so good. And so easy to make. The sauce was perfect and traditional-tasting. Instead of cornstarch I used arrowroot, and I added three sliced-up green onions to the stir fry. I served it over steamed jasmine rice. Delicious. I will make this often.
