My one complaint with the CSA box of late is they don't seem to understand that bok choy cooks down. They insist on giving us only a 1/4 lb or so of bok choy, which when making this recipe really only leaves you with a brief taste of this dish and wishing that they'd given a reasonable portion. One day, I will get a full serving ...
