I made this recipe (from Elena’s Pantry…an awesome gluten free site) to accompany one of our dinners last week and we plowed through it…yum! I didn’t have any fresh ginger on hand, so I used powdered ginger and it still turned out great. Believe it or not, we ate 2 pounds worth of bok choy in one sitting, so I just doubled the sauce and saved some of it for later.

Wow that looks delicious! I started cooking with bok choy a few months ago and it has become one of my favorite things! And, my husband even likes it. I will definitely try this recipe, thanks!
I’ve never made bok choy but I love the taste. I’ll have to give it a try.
I think you will really like it. If you like a more broth-like sauce vs a thicker gravy, use less arrowroot…both methods taste great.
