Baby Bok Choy

A dear friend gave me beautiful and fresh baby bok choy.  I searched online for some recipes and combined a couple of them to come up with this delicious dish.

Here's what you need:

1 inch piece of peeled fresh ginger

1 small yellow onion

2 cloves of garlic

4 cups of baby bok choy

1 tablespoon of soy sauce

1/2 cup of water

What to do:

Mince the ginger, onion, and garlic and place in it the pan with the water and soy sauce.  Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.

Next cut the baby bok choy in half, rinse, drain, and add to the pan.

Stir, then cover and let this cook for about 15 minutes.

Take the lid off and place the pan in the oven.

Broil on high for 5 minutes.

Keep an eye on your veggies as they will burn easily.  As soon as you see the edges of the baby bok choy turn brown, pull the pan out of the oven.  Be careful, this is really hot.

Serve this over quinoa, rice, or farro.

Enjoy!

Sharing a discount

I love discounts and often don't pay retail for anything.  Who doesn't love a good deal?  A friend just stumbled upon this really cute company called Moo.  She ordered some business cards, got a coupon code, and now I'm sharing her discount with all of you.
