I omitted the maple syrup and added star anise, and used the chicken stock I’d already made with a few carcasses. This was easy, warming and delicious. A great back pocket recipe for leftover roasted chicken.

This surpassed my expectations. Really tasty! I didn't have bok choi, so I subbed cabbage, and button mushrooms for shitakes.

Didn’t have bok choi at the store so I used Napa cabbage successfully. Yummy.
