Bok Choy Adobo is a quick and simple way to cook bok choy. This is one of the easy bok choy recipes out there that you should try. The local bok choy variety in the Philippines is called “Pechay”; this dish is also known as adobong pechay or inadobong pechay.
I enjoy eating bok choy adobo along with fried fish and white rice. I think that I got the idea in a childrens educational show during my childhood days. The show was encouraging children to eat healthy food — like “IsKaGu” which is short for Isda (fish), kanin (rice), at gulay (vegetables). Of course, some might question the health benefits of white rice. Let’s hang the discussion about it for now. You can always eat brown rice with fish and veggies as a healthier alternative.
