Today, I am going to share how to cook Bok Choy with a vegan recipe- stir fried bok choy.
Bok choy which I used to have for meals during my childhood is a common ingredient in Chinese cooking. Unluckily, it is difficult to get fresh bok choy here in normal Icelandic supermarkets due to the long distance imported from other countries, however, surprisingly, I found it sold in an an Asian market here supplied directly from a greenhouse in a town nearby.

Every time when I cook it in Iceland, the freshly mild smell of bok choy reminds me how happy I was to shop in open-air markets thousands of miles away from here with my mom, and how satisfied I was to be fed with the inexpensive food.
Stir fried bok choy could be a option for vegans, as well as for those who are tired from too much meat. It is easy-cooked, inexpensive, and importantly, yummcious!
