The Delicious Chinese style bok choy Recipe

     One time we invited a friend to come over for dinner, we provided a bowl of fresh vegetables with salad dressing.After he tried a little bit he said :"I eat salad because I think it's healthy for the body but it doesn't taste like anything. " Do you have the same feeling with him? Or do you get bored of eating salad all the time? I do.When I was in china I ate lots of green vegetables, I like them.

There are different ways of eating green veggies and living a healthy lifestyle.

   So I'd like to introduce a Chinese style  green vegetable recipe.

If you have bok choy, or Napa Cabbage, baby bok Choy, or the broccoli leaves from the garden or any leafy vegetable like kale spinach, they will all work with this recipe.

Serves 3  PREP time 10 minutes   Cooking time 5 minutes

1 pond of  or 5 classifier of medium size Bok choy 

2 red dry pepper( you can find it in sunfresh or Asian super market)

2 teaspoons cooking oil

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 pound bok choy, cut in half 

1 tablespoon water
