Stir-fried Bok Choy with Pork in Coconut Milk

This recipe for Stir-fried Baby Bok Choy with Pork in Coconut Milk is ideal for weeknights or any family meal. I used the smaller variety of bok choy for this recipe. The stalks are about three to five inches in length. Once they are simmering, the leaves are tender and soft. This recipe cooks quickly and is ideal for when the busy school season starts. This is an Asian in America recipe. Serves 2 to 4.
