Baby Bok Choy Saute

If you can buy baby bok choy, please do give a try. We much prefer the flavor of baby bok choy to standard boy choy which to our palates at least is quite bitter and too strong tasting. Omit the Thai pepper and replace with milder chile or freshly ground black pepper for less spicy version. A CG Original.
