Bok Choy With White Pork Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1/4 lb boneless pork shoulder
1 lb bok choy stalks
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger
3 tbsp peanut oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp dry sherry
1 cornstarch paste
1 tsp msg (opt)
Recipe Preparation
Slice pork against the grain into thin strips about 2" by 1/2".
Seperate outer fleshy stalks from center flower stalk of bok choy.
Use center stalk in another stir-fry dish or in soup. Wash outer
stalks, and diagonally slice into 3" pieces. The meatier ends of the
stalks should be sliced a little thinner.
Swirl oil around in very hot wok. When oil begins to smoke, add pork
and stir-fry until meat is seared (about 1 minute). Add bok choy,
garlic and ginger. Stir-fry until green leaves are bright and
shrivelled, stirring and tossing constantly so stalks won't burn. Add
salt, stock, sugar and dry sherry.
When liquid begins to boil, cover wok and steam for 30 seconds or
less on high heat, until stalks are tender but still crisp. Push
ingredients up side of wok; dribble cornstarch paste into liquid and
stir to make a light sauce. Recombine and add MSG. Serve
immediately.

Food Tips of the Week
How to Cook Beans
Beans can be tricky to cook properly. One useful tip is to add any salt or seasoning near to the end of the cooking time as they can prevent the beans from softening properly.
This also applies to any acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice.
Ignore people who say you need to add salt at the start of cooking any foods - this is a myth that science has now disproved.
Frozen Fish Can Taste as Good as Fresh!
One of the problems with using frozen fish is that it often tastes bland and stale after it has been defrosted. This can be easily overcome by defrosting the fish in a bowl of milk, which brings back the 'nice' taste of fresh fish.
Blueberries, A Superfood that Tastes Great Too!
Blueberries are packed with phytoflavinoids and antioxidants - both extremely good for your health. They are also rich in vitamin C, something that most of us could do with 'getting a bit more of', and also quite high in potassium. Some expert nutritionalists claim that eating blueberries helps to reduce the risk of serious complaints like cancer and heart disease
