For three weeks running we received bok choy in the veggie box.
This in itself is not a problem.
We like bok choy, it is tasty and good for you.
The problem was my limited kitchen apparatus. I usually stir fry bok choy or at least use a fry pan to wilt it when using it in Gado Gado salad or something. But until our stuff arrived from the UK I had no idea what to do with it all, but I had to do something as we were out of everything else until the delivery the next day.
Google is my friend.
The recipe I used came from Hooked On Heat – a blog on “Indian inspired flavours”. I intend to return to it once Pickle is here, and I can resume eating spicy food without incurring painful heartburn.
I made this very mild using only a small teaspoon of curry paste in place of the Sambal Oelek in the original recipe. The paste was an Indian variety – with tomato and cumin instead of the ginger/galangal and citrus flavours of South East Asia – so I added a bit of fresh ginger – it turned out great. It was also really quick to make.
I think I spent more time googling what to do with my bok choy than putting the meal together.
