    Pg. 176 Wasn't sure if I should make a note as I didn't follow the recipe as much as I used it for inspiration. I had some lovely baby shanghai bok choy which I lightly blanched and then I made a broth from some regular chicken stock which was augmented by chicken bones, a little piece of prosciutto which stood in for the pork ribs, star anise, goji berries, chinese red dates, ginger, and lots of green onion. The result was a delicious broth which turned the bok choy into a light pre dinner soup. Lovely!

    p. 176 - Beautiful dish! I was delighted to find pea shoots (a suggested substitute for pak choy) at our local Asian market and in looking through the book, I selected this recipe because it seemed like the other flavours in the dish would work well w the delicate flavour of pea shoots. I made some chicken stock the same day and I’d added a couple of star anise to the pot so the broth has some lovely anis undertones that seemed to scream “springtime” when combined w the fresh flavour of peas. This is the first occasion I’ve had to use pea shoots and I’ll now be seeking them out at every opportunity, as I loved their flavour and hearty texture. We served this as a side dish along w the Beef w Black Beans and Chili and it was a nice contrast of flavours and textures along w our steamed brown jasmine rice. This dish will only be as good as the stock you use. Yummy! Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/892280#7940834
