Shrimp with Bok Choi |
Indescribably delicious and healthy too!
This is a recipe I developed for the Gastrolux® folks.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to readers here that I’m into Asian cooking…so I was MORE than happy to test their FANTASTIC wok and come up with some dishes for them.
You can easily substitute chicken for the shrimp here and it would be just as good–and another dish too!

This shrimp and bok choy recipe looks to be delicious! I've never cooked with bok choy before. What parts do you use? The stalks and the leaves. How about the flower kind of thing in the middle?
Judith Hanneman says
Hi Dawn–all parts are edible, but in most of my stir fries, I use the white stalk portion with just some of the green leaves like in this dish. But if you wanted to make a quickie wonton soup, that's where you'd use the greens.
