bok choy

When I planted bok choy in the garden I knew there would be some yummy recipes in my future. This recipe makes me really happy I planted extra bok choy. So easy to prepare and the sauce is divine. Looking to save some carbs just leave out the rice. It is just as tasty.

To make the beef easier to slice put it in the freezer for about an hour. Make sure to slice the beef against the grain so the beef is tender. Slicing the beef thin is what makes this beef bok choy stir-fry a quick cooking tender dish.

I’m trying to cut back on my carbohydrates, so I only had a little rice. Zoodles would be a good choice for this recipe when saving on calories and carbs.

Marinating the beef in cornstarch and soy sauce gives great flavor and helps to thicken the sauce. The sriracha adds a little heat and for those that want more heat, leave the sriracha on the table so your family can add as much as they like.

I know it’s rude to lick your plate, but in this case, I couldn’t resist.
