Savoury This is where simplicity in basic cooking can you give you a gorgeous satisfying and balanced meal – plain rice (carbs), stir fry greens (fibre), peanuts and/or egg (protein), ginger and garlic (immunity boosters). Bok choy or pak choi – both are the same, are similar to that of spinach in which they tend shrink a fair bit whilst cooking – so you start with a large quantity and end up with a fair bit less! This is a basic simple stir fry, devoid of chilies and heavy spices – ginger and garlic play the aromatics. For me, this is my healing bowl, hence no chilies, but a side of chili sauce never hurt! I love to add a fried egg on top or a pan seared tofu when possible, otherwise a good chunk of peanut suffice! The Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients 1 cup bok choi 8-10 slices of ginger 1 tbsp garlic 2 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp soya sauce 3 tbsp water 1 tbsp toasted and chopped peanuts To serve with plain steamed rice Optional: add a fried egg on top Instructions In a medium pan, heat the oil with garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant and sizzling Then add the bok choi and stir until slightly wilting Then add the soya sauce, water and salt and stir to cook Do not allow the bok choy to wilt completely – you want to maintain a bite to it. Serve hot with rice Sprinkle toasted peanuts on top
