"BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE""


I am so happy that Bok Choy is available any time of the year in the Asian grocery stores because it is so versatile, just like spinach.
Bok Choy (the "white cabbage", yes it is classified as a cabbage) not only is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and calcium, but it is low in calories. It has a light, crisp texture, and has a nutty sweet taste that it can easily be added to a lot of sauteed dishes, or in soups, or just steam it and add some soy sauce and it's delicious!

But my favorite Bok Choy preparation is just with Oyster Sauce - great as a side dish with any meat or fish dish. Plus it takes only less than 10 minutes to prepare. My husband likes Bok Choy a lot, and am happy it's such a quick-fix dish that can be appreciated as well.
