What a tasty little side dish. We really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure when to remove the ginger so did so before adding the bok choy. I cut the recipe in half for just the two of us and it worked great. The sauce is to die for. Served with Asian Barbecued Pork Tenderloin and Cellophane Noodles With Garlic, Cucumbers and Cilantro - Ww. Thanks for posting. :)

This was really good and easy to do. A very different way to do Bok Choy. I used 4 Bok Choy for two people and would liked to have more!!! I did not have oyster sauce so I used hoisin instead. Will try with oyster soon. It went well with my salmon burger and steamed savoie cabbage. Hope more people try this.
