Hui Kitchen’s Chinese Braised Bok Choy with Shiitake Mushrooms
This is the second dish taught to me by Chef Hui of Hui’s Kitchen in Santiago, Spain. Rich and I were starving for fresh vegetables. We discovered that few restaurants along the Camino de Santiago offer freshly cooked vegetables. Once we discovered Hui’s Kitchen, we dined there every day during our last week in Europe. This delicious recipe of fresh Bok Choy is a perfect accompaniment to Chef Hui’s braised eggplant dish. It cooks up in minutes and is so yummy.
This recipe yields enough for one serving. While you may certainly double this recipe to serve two, it is not a good idea to try to cook for three or more people at one time. To maintain the quality of the dish, and because this recipe cooks up so quickly, it is better to make additional servings in separate one or two serving batches.

Instructions
