RECIPE BACKSTORY
Bok choy is a popular Chinese vegetable. It can be used in soups, stir-fried or as an appetizer. Chinese calls it the white cabbage, although it doesn't taste anything like cabbage. I like to cook this dish in the summer, because it's light and the mushrooms really compliments the bok choy so well
