Choy Sum Macau

Last week I went to an Asian market hoping to get some baby bok choy. They were all out, but they did have a couple of other greens, so I chose one, which turned out to be Choy Sum (also called Lo Choy). Since I’d never cooked it before, I looked for a recipe and found this one at the Healing Heart website (a good source of fatfree recipes). It turned out to be really good (even my daughter, who usually just tolerates greens, liked it, probably due to the cute yellow flowers on the choy sum). If you don’t have choy sum, I’m certain that bok choy or any type of greens would work.
