Expert Tips

Bok choy is a mild, versatile vegetable that resembles a bunch of wide-stalked celery with long, dark green leaves.

Whole wheat pasta has three times the fiber of regular pasta.

Use 1 cup sliced celery for the bok choy.

    This was really GOOD! I know it doesn't say in the recipe, but if you add some of the marinade to the wok with the pineapple, meat etc, it has a great flavor. that said, i added fish sauce, white pepper and ground ginger to the marinade for a little extra kick. I also skipped the onions. I was hoping to bring the rest for lunch today but the kids devoured it. This would go super over rice also (just omit noodles).

    The end result was pretty bland. Luckily I had some plum sauce in the refrigerator. Just mixing that in really made it into a good dish.

    This is delicious! My family loved it. I would add more bok choy and onion, though.
