Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I often make this for 2 instead of 4. The adjustments I make to tie liquid/rice are to use 2 cups broth 2 cups water and 2/3 cup rice. I leave the vegetable and chicken quantities the same from the full recipe for a hearty dinner for 2.

    I enjoyed this recipe but the chicken was a bit bland. Next time I would add more white pepper and maybe a bit of salt to the chicken

    Fairly quick and easy. Decent.

    While it wasn't very soupy by the time we ate it, it was delicious. I'd happily make and eat this one again. Baby bok choy, green onions, and ginger all from my farm share.

    This was pretty good. I could see making it again on a cold winter night. Two notes, however. First this is only a 30 minute recipe if you have skinless boneless chicken thighs cut into very small bits and cut up bok choy already prepared. Otherwise plan on about an hour. Second, if you want it to be a soupy rice dish you'll need to eat it all right away since as it sits, the rice will continue to absorb the water/stock mixture.
