Receta Guisadong Pechay (Sauteed Bok Choy)
Before anything else I guess by know you know what had happened to the Philippines last weekend so for those who wants to donate money to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan here are some organizations that are currently deploying urgent relief efforts. Note each of the links will point you to their donation forms, any amount would be a great help for my fellow countrymen.
This is one of those dishes we always pair with anything fried (fish, pork or chicken), a very flavourful vegetable side dish that complements any fried mains that you may have, similar to bok choy in oyster sauce, but the flavours are a bit distinct as it comes from shrimp paste. This recipe was introduced to me by my wife and this is one of the vegetables I stated to love eating (I never liked vegetables before I met her, she just thought me how to love it). Since then I always crave for this if we have some fried or grilled meat. So if you are like me who don’t love vegetables this might be a start for you to love them, so what are you waiting for try it out now!
