Mushrooms and Bok Choy With Fried Garlic


Sheu made this for dinner last night. :) I helped with the garlic frying part.

This is another recipe from Martin Yan's Chinatown Cooking. We've been using that cookbook almost exclusively lately! There are lots of good recipes to try. This recipe actually calls for baby bok choy, but Sheu used Shanghai bok choy because that's what we had on hand. The flavor of this dish was great, but the Shanghai bok choy has some tough fibers in it that made it hard to chew. Sheu said he wants to try the dish again, but with baby bok choy.

I did some reading on Martin Yan -- I didn't realize he's a very well known chef with a long-running cooking show! D'oh! We bought the cookbook in a used bookstore about a year ago, and although we've been using it, I hadn't paid much attention to the dude on the cover, until now. Sheesh!

I found this video of Martin Yan chopping vegetables. Fun to watch:
