Bok Choy and Pork Stir-Fry - Quick and Easy

Submitted by Lambkyns

"Found on Canadian Living website. (Developed by The Canadian Living Test Kitchen). We really enjoyed the great flavour and the simplicity of this recipe. The first time I made this I only had pork chops on hand and they cooked up just fine. I haven't yet used five-spice powder... the ginger worked nicely."
