After an inspiring visit to my local Asian supermarket, I wanted to make a dish that was a bit spicy but comforting. As Bok Choy is hands down one of my favourite vegetables, this recipe just had to include it. Feel free to adjust and add ingredients so this recipe to match your liking.

Making the fried bok choy:

Finishing the dish:
