When I saw this recipe floating around social media, I knew I had to remake ! The most simplest, yet most delicious 3 ingredient side dish you’ll ever need. BACON BOK CHOY. Growing up an asian household, I LOVED bok choy. My mom would incorporate them into soups, stir Frys, and even as an oysterr sauce based appetizer! I always forget about them because I only see them at my local asian supermarkets! Whenever I do decide to take my 30 minute commute to the nearest asian supermarket, Im always reminded to grab some! This recipe has only 3 ingredients, but will sure be satisfying! Eat it as is, as a side dish as an appetizer. with a SHOE… its amazinggggg.
