I was very excited to see baby bok choy in our box this week. For those not familiar with bok choy, it is a Chinese cabbage. When it is picked young, it is really tender and makes a good salad. The bok choy in our box was just a bit too tough for a salad, so I decided to put it in a soup. I saw this recipe for Chicken and Bok Choy soup on Allrecipes.com. However, I wanted to go with an Asian flavor (since it is a Chinese cabbage).
We ate this as a light main dish, but it could also be a soup course for a larger meal.
