Quick and easy Recipe

Bok choy, pak choi or pok choi is a type of Chinese cabbage that is consider our soul food. Growing up I didn’r really appreciate the taste of bok choy, but as an adult I some how grow to love the texture and taste of the vege when you cook it with simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb bok choy (baby bok choy or regular, cut into halves or quarters if large)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced or smahsed)
• 1 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon of potato starch
• 1 teaspoon of Maggi magic sarap
• A dash of MSG (optional)
• Dried mushroom (soak it at least 2 hours before slicing them up – optional ingredient)

How to cook your Bok Choy:

• Before you start cooking the bok choy, soak your dried mushroom (you can buy these in any Asian grocer store) for at least 2 hours before slicing them into small pieces. This one is optional.
• In a bowl, combine the oyster sauce, Maggi Magic Sarap, and potato starch. Mix well with warm water until fully blended.

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Brown your garlic in the pan before adding the dried mushrooms to your pan. When your mushroom is almost well-done, add the bok choy to your pan.
• Stir fry them until it’s slightly cooked before adding the sauce of your bowl to the pan.
• Add water to the pan if your sauce looks slightly too thick upon thickening up. This will create a bit of steam and help cook the bok choy evenly. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is tender but still crisp. Sprinkle a little MSG (optional)

When it’s done, place your Bok Choy in a shallow bowl and serve it to your friends or family! It’s suitable for any occasion and anytime of the day.
