Shiitake Rice with Bok Choy and Thai Peanut Sauce
Sometimes simple meals are the most delicious meals, and this is one of those. If you don’t have time to make the peanut dressing or if it’s just not your thing, just add some coconut aminos teriyaki sauce on top, and it’ll be every bit as delicious!
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 900g (2lb) baby bok choy, ends trimmed

- 1kg (4 cups) white or brown rice, cooked
- ¼ cup Thai Peanut Sauce (recipe follows) or coconut aminos teriyaki sauce
- 2 green onions, white and green parts sliced
