Sweet and Sour Baby Bok Choy
Let’s talk about the “dinner salad.” What does your “dinner salad” look like?
Mine looks like iceberg lettuce, maybe some carrot rounds and celery if we have them, and ranch dressing (which is not the best choice I could make, I know). The only thing that makes me excited to eat the “dinner salad” is a handful croutons. And let’s face it, those are just carbs.
So why am I dissing the “dinner salad”? What I’m really trying to say is that dinner salads are great if you add veggies and a tasty balsamic dressing. The fact is, this can get boring if it’s your go-to side every night.
And now I’m getting to the point – because you know you clicked on a link that said Sweet and Sour Baby Bok Choy. This side dish is a great alternative to the boring “dinner salad.” It’s salty and sweet, and has a perfect balance of the Asian flavors that we love so well. You can try this with regular Bok Choy, but we find that Baby Bok Choy is not as bitter as it’s adult counterpart.
