Oriental Bok Choy Salad

This is a wonderful recipe, especially since bok choy is full of vitamins A and C, and iron. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful site.

I made this for the graduation luncheon of my ESOL class. Interestingly fourteen of my eighteen students are Korean women. They told me it was delicious and they wanted my recipe. Nice and crunchy, sweet and sour at the same time. Next time I will break up the noodles while still in the package. Trying to break them up in the skillet resulted in retrieving a lot of noodle pieces from the stove top. Watch the sauteing noodle mix. It is easy to burn them. Remove them from the skillet as soon as browned.

I made it for the first time for company, took a bit of a risk there but it was a huge hit. Simple, yet gourmet and very impressive.

I made this for a BBQ as I had a LOT of bok choy out in the garden and wanted to use it up in a new way. It was a *huge* hit, with many people asking me for the recipe.

One note: add some blue cheese...it adds another layer of flavor and, to my mind, accentuates all the others!

I make this all the time but instead of using bok choy, I use nappa cabbage. Everyone always loves it.
