Bok Choy Awesomeness

This is a ridiculously easy recipe, and it has bacon, which is always nice. :) I've often said I will never be able to be a full vegetarian because I like bacon too much! The other thing I love about this recipe is the bok choy. It truly is one of my favorite vegetables. I always serve this recipe over rice to make a complete meal.

Bacony Bok Choy

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon, chopped

2 pounds baby bok choy

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 small red onion, chopped

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions:

Fry bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and drain the fat, reserving one tablespoon of the grease in the skillet. Add the olive oil, onion, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until the onions are starting to be tender.
Add the bok choy, and place a lid on the pan. Let cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the lid; cook and stir until the bok choy is tender but still crunchy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the bacon, and serve mixture over rice.
