    Can substitute broccoli or Napa cabbage stems for stem lettuce

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.

    I made this with bok choy and chicken broth. Good flavor, cooks quickly. Great for a weeknight side dish with other Chinese food. (This recipe is also similar to their Yunnan greens recipe from their Hot Sour Salty Sweet cookbook, if you are interested in a variation.)
