Now that the summer is slowly moving in (Finally!), I start to think about greens more than root vegetables (such as sweet potatoes and lotus), which I crave during the wintertime. Season eating is very important to me, so the warm weather tells me I need food that would awake my body, so in the future posts, you will be seeing a lot of green goodness. 🙂
I love all green vegetables, but if I REALLY have to be picky, it would be gai lan, brussels sprouts, choi sum, and baby bok choy. Baby bok choy is also called Chinese cabbage. It has a very mild flavor and is great as a stir-fry with some sliced garlic. Usually, I stir-fry baby bok choy on its own, but sometimes when I do not feel like making a second dish for dinner, I combine this leafy vegetable along with mushrooms for nutritional and textural purposes. Pair this dish with a bowl of brown rice, relax with a cup of green tea, and that is my evening. Very zen-like, is not it? 🙂
Of course it’s zen-like! haha..
Yes, I enjoy baby bok choy as well (more so than the regular ones). If I don’t feel like stir-frying it, I do boil it, and add a tiny bit of oyster sauce on top.
