Quick, Easy, Healthy: Bok Choy and Cashew Stir Fry

Between work, errands and spending time with my little family, I am always on the lookout for quick and healthy meals. My husband and I like to get creative in the kitchen and make it a game to create a tasty meal out of the random ingredients in our pantry. Here is one of our latest dishes featuring my favorite veggie-- bok choy!  We typically do NOT follow recipes and just add a bit of this and that here and there, hence no ingredient amounts. .. season to your own preferences!

Bok Choy and Cashew Stir Fry:

The ingredient list: one head of bok-choy, frozen stir-fry vegetable blend from Trader Joes, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, orange juice, toasted sesame oil, pineapple (canned in 100% juice)—fresh would be a much tastier, but less “quick” option and brown rice (in a microwaveable pouch).

What we did: We sautéed the garlic with sesame oil, added the frozen vegetable blend, the bok choy stems, a splash of orange juice, grated ginger and pineapple, and then sautéed for a few minutes (until the frozen veggies were heated through) and then removed the pan from the heat. We added the rest of the bok choy (which wilts up nicely) and the cashews and served the mixture over a bed of brown rice. I then added just a touch of soy sauce for extra flavor.
