Serves: 4
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil or other neutral vegetable oil.
- 2 tablespoons grated organic ginger
- 2 tablespoons mirin or white wine
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce, or to taste
- 1 cup organic cashews (raw or toasted, as you prefer)
- 1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
- 6 cups sliced bok choy
- 1 cup sliced scallions
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Warm a wok or stir-fry pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, ginger, mirin, tamari, and cashews. Stir-fry 2 minutes to flavor the cashews with the ginger.
Add the red bell pepper, bok choy, and scallions, and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until the red pepper turns bright red and bok choy wilts slightly.
Grind in some fresh pepper. Taste and add more tamari, if desired.

I haven't seen good bok choy in the markets for a few months myself, Emma, and I'm missing it! I may plunge back into using it with this recipe.

I pulled my old wok out of the back of the cupboard tonight, dusted it off, and made this for dinner. Absolutely delicious!
