Bacony Bok Choy

I've made this recipe several times, and each time I'm reminded how much I love bok choy!! It's such a tasty vegetable, and I really should incorporate it into more recipes. I've had this dish as both a main entree (serve it over rice), and as a side dish.

Bacon-y 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 over medium heat 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 season with salt. Serve piping hot!
