Bok Choi

Is this stuff available in Ireland?

I used to love it being included in my meals in Australia, and on occasion I used myself in Stir Fries.

Part of the cabbage family, with quite a strong "green vegetable" taste, similar to spinach.

I'll presume most Dunne's have it then. I'm only back in the country, so I'll investigate tomorrow.

Thanks.

Oyster sauce would be the best for bok choi, Garlic sauce is too strong.
I always cook bok choi without any sauce just with little bit salt and vineger to enjoy the nature flavour.

i am sorry, i did not not represent it very clearly. i came from asia, i love garlic and i love cooking as well. the problem about garlic is if you put too much garlic then the strong flavour with cover the food that you cook. so you only can put little bit garlic in the dish that you cook, this measurement need longtime cooking experience and not every irish could gain a mastery of that. that is why i suggest using oyster sauce as its flavour not as strong as garlic.
