Baby Bok Choy and Asian Pears

One of the most exciting things about the bag of goodies I received is that it was filled with ingredients that I rarely get to use. Baby bok choy and asian pears are just not things I think about buying on a regular basis

until now

This bok choy was so good the kids and I ate it all before Louis got home to get a taste of it! And it was suprisingly easy to throw together

Then the next night I made it again and made it into a full meal. 

I used the same sauce and baby bok choy but added thinly sliced chicken, mushrooms, baby corns, bamboo shoots and carrot

 

 Here is the recipe: Spicy Bok Choy in Garlic Sauce

The other new recipe I tried was Asian Pear Slaw from Epicurious

cool, refreshing and easy to throw together

this tasted much better after sitting in the fridge for a couple hours and would be great along side any asian inspired grilled meat
