Recipe Notes

Bok choy is one of the great overlooked veggies. It is sweet with just a bit of bitterness, generally inexpensive, and cooks in a flash. It’s perfect for almost any Asian dish like a stir fry or fried rice, or as a side dish like this quick sautéed version with mustard sauce. The 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper might be too spicy for a lot of people. If you don’t like spicy food, cut back to half that or leave it out.
