We all liked Chinese food before we even adopted from China. We have a few nice places in town that we frequent often. We always thought they were just fabulous. That is until we went to China and had real Chinese food. Unfortunately, some of the amazing foods we ate in Beijing, Nanchang, and Guangzhou, we cannot get at our local restaurants. So, I ventured online and to the local Chinese markets for some finds. Because I love greens, I found this Bok Choy recipe. I've fixed it a few times, but only Ivy, Jordan, Seth, Mike and I will eat it. I could live off this stuff.
You want to buy the baby Bok Choy, and I steamed Jasmine rice and dumplings/pot stickers with it.
Ivy is always happy when we have this sort of meal. She confessed to me last night that she did not eat greens in China. I actually noticed that when we were there together. I'm glad she decided to venture out of her safe box.
Joy is just a big starch ball. All she wants to eat is rice and pasta in no fussy order. Last night she had seconds only of the rice and pot stickers. Eva did, too. I took Jack to Wendy's for chili. Such is life with Jack.
Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri

Is the green stuff the book choy? What are pot stickers? I'm with Jack...Wendy's works!
Yay! Fun to see your Bok Choy recipe. I fell in love with it in China and always like to eat it at Chinese buffets. I have wondered how to cook it. Sounds great.
Vicky's comment cracks me up :) Mya and I LOVE our potstickers!!! YUM! I am actually looking forward to returning to China for steamed buns and Potstickers. How about you? Anxious to return to China?
The greens look delish!!
Good Morning! Just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you and the other "Z" families today!
Looks wonderful!!! Jadon is just like Joy...starch, starch, starch!!
