Bok Choy

I found a delicious recipe for bok choy at Central Market. I am eating my leftovers as I type!

Here it is:

Ginger Garlic Bok Choy

1/2 of a bok choy, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch of ginger root, minced
1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
1 large shallot
2 TBS toasted sesame oil
2 TBS rice wine vinegar
salt and pepper

1. Heat sesame oil in a large wok over med-high heat
2. Saute bok choy for 3-4 min, tossing frequently, then add in shallots, ginger and garlic. Saute for another 3-4 min.
3. Add vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes, season to taste and toss in cilantro at the end!
   

Bok Choy: (AKA: chinese cabbage, pak-choi, chinese chard)

It's a member of the brassica family, meaning it contains indoles which are compounds that have been shown to lower your risk of cancer.

Bok choy is also filled with calcium, potassium, beta-carotene, and vitamin A.
