Cook's Tips:

Bok choy is a vegetable with tender, dark green leaves and crunchy, white stalks. It is available in supermarkets year-round. Store it, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bok choy can be stir-fried with other vegetables; it can also be cooked or served raw on its own. Shredded green cabbage can be substituted for the bok choy, if desired. 

Gingerroot has a paper-thin, tan-colored skin that should be removed before use. Store gingerroot in a resealable plastic food storage bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months. To use frozen gingerroot, just slice off as much as you need.
