This recipe makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 lb skinless chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 thin slices gingerroot, (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)

- 6 cups coarsely chopped bok choy, (6 to 8 stalks bok choy) or baby bok choy, about 1 lb/500 g (1.5 L)

Preparation
In shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, in batches if necessary. Spoon off fat.
