Recipes Using Bok Choy

Cilantro Ginger Burgers

Although it’s not served on a bun, don’t skip the outside grilling, it really adds to the flavor of this dish. You can choose to serve it on a bun if you’d like, maybe add a ginger mayo to the mix?


Bibimbap

Bibimbap is a wonderful way to enjoy CSA ingredients of the season, as it’s very flexible depending on what’s in season. Sizzling rice topped with delicious combinations of meat and veggies, an egg and distinctly flavorful sauce in a stone hot pot (optional but recommended) is really something special. The only two pantry ingredients that you might need are Gochujang (available at Asian Markets or well-stocked supermarkets) and sesame oil, and you’ve got yourself a party!

This combo has been found to be most enjoyable to even the most discernible palette in the Anderson household. Play with the veggies and we hope you like it, too!
