Braised Baby Bok Choy

4.3

(127)

While at The Boathouse restaurant in Sydney, we sampled a dish of baby bok choy so good that it led us to create our own version. It would be delicious with pan-seared shellfish and Asian eggplant.

Recipe information

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
