Try this very simple recipe, into one bowl put halved bok choi, sliced carrot, zuchinni, beans (any seasonal vege you have) put a large handful of mungbean sprouts on top, the pour oyster sauce, tsp stock powder, tsp sugar, bit of pepper, and some garlic. Put some oil into pan/wok on high heat until it starts to smoke, tip the bowl load into the wok and stir fry.

Sara this is also called bok choy or pak choy, use any recipe for chinese greens or treat it like cabbage. I wrote an earlier recipe for the ooooby box, steaming this and serving with garlic and oyster sauce.

I'm looking for a landscape designer with particular interest/experience in how to make the most of small urban spaces (like apartment balconies and courtyards) for growing edibles -  to teach or have input on a workshop for Urban Pantry. Is that you or someone you know?
