Pak Choi Bok Choi Stir Fry



I chose two veggies I wasn't familiar with at the market last Saturday- pak choi and bok choi. Laura from The Farm (http://thefarmandbandb.com/) was quite helpful when I asked "What do I do with it?" when I purchased the pak choi from her. She suggested a simple stir fry with a little garlic and olive oil.
Now I was feeling very adventurous when I saw Crissie at Gaia's Breath Farm (http//www.gaiasbreathfarm.com)had bok choi for sale and picked up a bunch to combine with the pak choi to make a delicious Chinese cabbage stir fry.
This is a qick, easy and nutritious side dish. I served it with some basmati rice and grilled chicken breasts that I had marinated in teriaki sauce mixed with Chinese five spice powder.

Bok Choi Pak Choi Stir Fry
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/4 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons of oil (canola, olive or sesame)
  • 6 cups of mixed Chinese cabbage coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion or scallions
Heat the oil in a wok or large fry pan. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and stir fry 2-3 minutes and then add the ginger and cook an additional minute or so until fragrant.
Add the pak choi and bok choi and continue to stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until crisp tender.
If you don't have fresh ginger you can substitute dried or leave it out altogether.

Tomorow I'll share my favorite bee sting remedies.
Have a peace filled day!

How to Make Spice Filled Mug Mats

Spice filled mug mats and trivets make a thoughtful, fragrant gift. While they are not hard to make it does take a little time if you age your mix properly.

Mug Mat Mix 1 cup of allspice 1 cup of cinnamon chips 1/2 cup of cloves 1 cup of dried orange peel 1/4 cup of star anise 1/4 cup of dried rosemary 1 cup of oak moss or cellulose fiber chips 1/2 teaspoon of orange essential oil 1/4 teaspoon each of clove and cinnamon essential oils Mix the first 6 ingredients and put into a jar with a tight fitting lid. Make sure it is large enough to allow for future mixing by shaking. Place your oak moss or cellulose fixative in a small jar with a lid and add your oils. Shake well and let sit for several days until the oils are fully absorbed. Add to your spice mix, put the cover back on and shake gently to mix. Let age for at least 4 weeks, s
