Stir Fried Chinese Bok Choy with Garlic

Stir Fried Chinese Bok Choy is a great way to get a bunch of vegetables into your day!

In the doldrums of winter I was tired of roasted squash, root vegetables etc. I was also looking in the produce department for some of the best looking fresh vegetables.

By February some of the stuff around here is looking pretty dodgy.

Then I saw some bright fresh baby bok choy (Shanghai Bok Choy) and I thought of those great Chinese side dishes with celery, mushrooms in a light sauce and I was inspired.

I have to say this made for a refreshing meal, kinda like Chinese Takeout at home!

I served it with this Lemoncello Chicken and Perfect Rice Every Time!

I was really pleased with how this turned out. You can add in some red pepper flakes if you want to give it a bit of heat. You could also add inn some almond slices if you like. I didn’t because there were already almonds in the chicken dish I was making.

You could switch out some vegetables as needed. Sweet peppers or thin carrot coins could be good if that is what you have on hand.

I was really happy with the way it turned out and believe me -with the garlic in this it is no shrinking violet of a dish!
