I followed this recipe exactly and it was truly outstanding! I didn't have enough bok choy but I still made a full recipe of the sauce so it was pretty "saucy". I just let the bok choy sit in the sauce for a minute or two and then removed it to a separate serving dish. Outstanding! I didn't even think I liked bok choy before this!

Very good flavor, although I'd cut down on the sugar a bit more! I added several more cloves of garlic, so I'm not sure how the original would taste. Along with the bok choy, I also added matchstick carrots and a few quartered button mushrooms, and I subbed palm sugar for the brown sugar, as I had it on hand. Because of others' warnings that it made a lot of sauce, I added the entire dish to about 2 cups of cooked Japanese noodles (similar to angel hair pasta) at the end of cooking, and it turned out great. I think the recipe would benefit from one or two thai/bird chilis instead of the pepper flakes, so I'm going to try that the next time I make it. Warning for those who are new to bok choy: make sure you soak it well to assure all sand/dirt is gone. I bought mine from the farmers market and had to change the soaking water 4x until the sand was gone! It would have been awful if I'd have not realized that necessity ahead of time. :)

Pretty good. I doubled the recipe and added in 6-7 cloves of garlic. I did find the recipe needed a bit of salt. I used vegetarian oyster sauce instead of regular sauce. I cooked the roots of bok choy and when they were almost cooked I added in some julienned carrots and once they were light green I set them aside. After I stir fried some onion and mushrooms and added the leafy part of the bok choy to that. Put that aside and cooked the sauce. Ate this dish with chow mein noodles.

This was very good. I added some Asian braising greens to the bok choy, used maple syrup instead of brown sugar, and used chili-garlic sauce instead of red pepper flakes. The flavor was just the right balance of sweet and spicy, although next time I might add another clove of garlic.
