Fresh bok choy makes an incredibly quick and easy side dish that’s nourishing and packed with delicious flavors!  The combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, spring onion, and chili flakes are the perfect complement to tender-crisp bok choy. You will find bok choy and spring onions from Cool Springs Farm at the market this week!
