This is a lovely recipe. As I do not have fish sauce currently I opted to use soy sauce. It was a fine substitution. I made half of my gai choy yesterday, so today I am using this recipe again to make the rest - except this time I'm going to grill some tofu and cook some broad rice noodles to make my own pad sew :P

This was so good and so easy! I followed the directions pretty closely with a few small differences. I had some shitake mushrooms I wanted to use up, so I added them with the onions and garlic. The mushrooms soaked up all the oils, so I added a few tablespoons of water to get them to soften up. Then proceeded with the sugar, fish sauce and gai choy. I probably doubled the amount of sugar and fish sauce. Came out delicious! Served over brown rice. Thanks for providing a recipe for this new (to me) Asian vegetable that I'll now add to my regular rotation.
