Bok choy fried rice is a vegan recipe packed with flavor and perfect to sneak in some greens. Bok choy (also known as pak choy or Chinese cabbage) is a leafy vegetable that is available all year round but is most abundant in the winter months.
I got to accept that this is the first time I am cooking with Bok Choy. Will I use it again? Absolutely yes! Found this great book in my library called ’ Wild about greens ‘.
This book has several vegan recipes with all different types of greens that I have never heard or seen before. I will be working on quite a few recipes from this book and passing them along to you.
This is such a simple recipe that utilizes loads of Bok Choy without overpowering flavors. Try this out and let me know how you and your family liked it.
