Tips

Bok choy Options: Substitute Swiss chard, rapini or spinach for the bok choy. You will need 1.5 L (6 cups) chopped of the vegetable of your choice.
Look for Chinese noodles in the International section of the grocery store or in Asian grocers. These are quick to cook and a healthier option than ramen noodle packages.
