Bok Choy and Tale of Princess #2


Well those bok choy are a little ripper!!
Long story on the gift of the bok choy seedlings, so settle down with a suitable beverage and bare with me :-)
Once upon a time the three princesses were going to Uncle Dickies farm for a week in the school holidays. Miss Princess #1 decided all her gowns were too precious and we needed to go to the Lifeline Market for suitable country attire. On arriving at the abovementioned market Princess #1 proceeded to shop with gay abandon. Princess #2 was disinterested at best. Princess #3 really didn't understand what it was all about, but selected some estate suitable outfits none the less.
At the time to hand over the gold coins (most of which was for Princess #1's purchases) Princess #2 produces several items for a newborn baby boy. ummmmmmmm hello??
They were for our neighbours newborn son Bobby D. (real name Robert David) but we have christened him Bobby D. She moves in mysterious ways our Princess #2 - bless her cotton socks.
In return for the clothes for Bobby D, his dad gave us 12 bok choy seedlings (is that like jack and beanstalk? - oh whole other fairy tale - sorry - back on track) - honestly guys we didn't want anything!! So I hope you enjoyed the tale, and can I tell you those bok choy grow quick and fast!

Today we picked the two biggest to have with dinner. I am trying to menu plan around the supply - but omg how much bok choy can a princess bare! I coated pork cutlets with 1/3 cup oyster sauce and olive oil and after they were cooked, I added the bok choy and 1/3 cup of soy sauce and 2 tbsp of honey to the pan. Add sweet chilli sauce to the plated finish to your taste :-)
