I used mature bok choy and it turned out fine. Plenty of good flavor with the bacon and garlic!

I used this recipe to try bok choy out for the first time. It was really good. I don't think bok choy in general is destined to be one of our favorite veggies, but we both liked the combination of flavors with the bacon and the kick of the red pepper flakes. Thanks!

One of the wonderful things about baby bok choy, aside from its taste, is its size and the beautiful presentation it makes. One perfectly cooked and seasoned baby bok choy on a dinner plate is almost like a bow on a package. I think those who are chopping this, or substituting mature bok choy, or those who are adding other vegetables are totally missing the beauty of whole baby bok choy for its visual appeal. Having said that, the simple seasoning and braising in this recipe makes this not only a beautiful and unique presentation on the dinner plate, but a delicious one at that. I used shallots rather than onion and added a little chicken broth, and found I needed to cook the little guys a couple of minutes less than directed to keep them crisp-tender and to retain their shape and color. Impressive and very pretty!

Pretty good! I added some garlic but otherwise stuck to the recipe, and my family ate it happily.

My husband and I grew bok choy in our garden this year and this was our first recipe using our fresh crop. It was delicious and cooked up so quickly! Thanks for a yummy recipe.

Wow! I've always enjoyed bok choy but had never prepared it myself until this. It was better then any I've ever had with my easy adjustments: I diced 4-5 thin slices of prosciutto and fried in a little olive oil until crispy and set it aside. Then I added a bit more olive oil to the pan and cooked the onion, pepper flakes and garlic as directed. But then I also added a few splashes of chicken broth to sort of de-glaze the pan and then settled the bok choy on top. The broth helped soften the vegetables and added lots of flavor while it simmered and steamed in the pan. The prosciutto was added back at the end and was a delicious and salty topping that was to die for. A DEFINITE KEEPER!!

With our efforts toward adding fresh vegetables to our diet, I'm always looking for new recipes. I had a half a head of Chinese cabbage and about 4 ounces of bean sprouts leftover and decided to modify this recipe with those ingredients. The flavor was very good, just the right amount of spice for my taste. Thanks for sharing!

This was actually pretty tasty - I always wanted to try to cook bok choy but never really knew how. I could not find baby bok choy in any of my local stores so I used the regular one which still came out great. I am going to keep my eyes out for the baby style.

Really good, but I used artificial bacon instead of real meat. My family enjoyed it too.

This was delicious. I followed the recipe but used regular Bok Choy instead of baby. Will be making this again soon!

I found this to be okay, but am not sure I'd necessarily make it again. I wanted to use up some leftover baby bok choy we had, but ended up not having as much as I'd thought. Luckily we also had lots of leftover baby spinach, so making up the difference was easy. The spinach tasted much better in this dish than the bok choy, so I would use that exclusively if I were to repeat this recipe.
