A healthy alternative
1.Stir-fry baby bok choy leaves, or Asian greens of your choice, in oil with crushed garlic and grated ginger. Add a tablespoon soy sauce and toss until well coated.
2.Steamed Asian greens are a great alternative to other vegetables such as broccoli and zucchini. Serve them with your favourite meat or fish dish.
3.For a hearty soup, bring a litre of chicken stock to the boil. Add noodles (rice or egg), 1 chopped, cooked, skinless chicken breast and 1 chopped onion. Cook until the noodles are tender. Add roughly chopped bok choy and gai laan or other greens of your choice and cook until the greens have wilted.
4.Asian greens are a delicious alternative to spinach. Try them in dishes such as frittatas or quiche.
5.Asian greens can be eaten raw. Gai laan or other greens add flavour when shredded and added to salads including coleslaw.
