Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, Garlic Cloves and Olive Oil | Yum!!

Lunch has become my main event of each day!!  Today, I made a healthy stir fry with Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, sliced garlic and Olive Oil.

Brown the garlic in the oil; top that browned garlic with some thinly sliced Napa Cabbage; then a layer of Bok Choy. Stir occasionally, and when the leaves of the Bok Choy are nicely cooked and the stems are brown, it’s done.

Most would like salt added, but I don’t use any salt. Whatever I purchase is low salt or no salt. I don’t take any blood pressure meds, and I want it to stay that way!!!

I’ll make this again at the end of the week. It was yummy!!!!!!!

My house smells like “Italian Heaven” because of the garlic!!!!

Even an Armenian could deal with that…..

those are the only ingredients I have in my house....other than the glass containers of candy and mega stuffed oreo cookies  that are in my kitchen.... I previously had lunch visits by my son, Michael, every noon.... I miss that, but I still have his chocolate/peanut butter candy assortment here and his cookies.... Grant Schneider

Your lunch does look tasty.  I need a little more imagination in my lunch time repertoire.  My sandwiches are getting boring!

Hi Barbara... I guess I need to break down try bok choy one of these days.

when you saute it with garlic and oil, it's delicious.... it takes on the flavor of the soup, if you add it to the broth.... I always have it in my refrigerator.... and I love Napa Cabbage... it's delicate.... Nina Hollander

I really like bok choy and Napa cabbage, and we do stir fry a lot...and we buy low sodium organic soy sauce.  I would add some ginger to this dish...We like the combo of ginger and garlic...A

I was never a fan of ginger, but I bet I'd like it with garlic.... I'll test it out....

I must be weird since cooked greens really don't appeal to me at all, I definitely prefer them raw.

Last week I made an asian chicken soup with loads of Bok Choy, Garlic, Cilantro and broth.  I added in some Ramen, and it was delicious.  Your recipe sounds wonderful, Barbara!

Ralph Gorgoglione I thank the good Lord every day for my good health.... I put an extreme effort into staying fit.... not typical for a woman turning 74 this year.... even through this Covid-19 shin-dig. I do 60 squats a day with a hex bar and 75 pounds.... and I alternate sets of 10 with shoulder shrugs with that bar..... so at the end of the day, I've done 120 reps..... I break it up into 3 workout sessions every day..... AND most importantly, I eat clean.... no grain for over 7 years....
