Bok Choy Broccoli and Tofu Stir Fry

Bok Choy Broccoli and Tofu Stir Fry is a recipe that was given to me by an asian lady selling produce at our local farmers market. It’s light, healthy and very easy to make. The oyster, hoisin and toasted sesame oil gives it a wonderful aroma. Make sure you prepare the ingredients in advance and have them ready before you start cooking. Bok choy comes from the cabbage family and is used frequently in Chinese cooking. Not only is it rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, it’s known to have agents that fight different types of cancer.
