Oops. Yes, I am aware that it is Tuesday, not Monday. But I came into the game late, so I am just now going to post my recipe.
Lately, I have not been eating so great. For some this might mean not having a balanced dinner, or too many carbs during the day. But for me, it means stuff like Mike and Ikes for breakfast(tropical flavor) and a Costco hot dog for lunch.
Yes, Ang, I too have the dreaded Costco addiction. But I embrace it.
So I am aware of my need to restore my healthier eating habits.
Something I came across not too long ago is bok choy. I love it, and you have to admit it even sounds healthy. I am thrilled with it because it adds another veggie to my lackluster repertoire and it tastes good! Who knew?
It is great with grilled chicken or salmon, or as the side for an Indian curry or a stir-fry.
Maybe if I eat enough of it, the bok choy's healthy goodness will cancel out the sugary,tooth decaying Mike and Ikes breakfast.
Braised Bok Choy
2 cups chicken broth
6 T butter (or less, if you want)
1 1/2 lbs bok choy, chopped into 2-3 inch pieces
1 t Asian sesame oil
salt/pepper to taste
Bring butter and broth to a boil in a large, deep skillet. Place bok choy in the skillet and simmer, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer bok choy with tongs to a serving dish and keep warm. Boil broth mixture until reduced to about 1/2 cup, then stir in sesame oil and seasoning to taste. Pour mixture over bok choy and serve.

Diane,
This sounds like an interesting dish. Does it come out much like cooked greens do? We have a wonderful Indian recipe that a friend of mine gave me and I wonder if this would be good as a side dish to compliment it.
Thanks for participating!

Karen, I haven't had cooked greens before, so I really can't compare. The flavor and texture of this dish is fabulous and I think it would be great alongside and Indian dish. Can't hurt to try, anyway.
Good luck!
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. I had to come visit and am glad that I did! What a beautiful picture on your header! I have never eaten bok choy but always wondered how to eat it. I am definitely going to try your recipe. I am marking your blog on my "blogs to visit" and will be back again.
In His Love and Blessings,

Oh I love bok choy! i usually saute it and add some shrimp. It's great for stir fries with shrimp and tofu. It's very healthy!
Thanks for the recipe - I'll try cooking it that way :)
LOL! The other day I shook some fish crackers in my mouth and then a squirt of ranch dressing for lunch! I SO need some good/easy recipies! Love your blog and all the beautiful photos. The country is so beautiful! Thanks for stopping by my blog and enjoying the dog story!
