Yum! Fresh ginger really makes this pop! I always need lots of fresh ground pepper with ginger so I added a bunch. I don't think the water is entirely necessary- I would reduce it next time and leave out the capers. Overall this is a fantastic recipe!

This was delicious! I didn't have capers in the house, and I used only about 1T of the vinegar. Still, there was plenty of flavor. Thanks for a great recipe.

Loved this recipe...very easy. I'll be eating Bok Choy more often now.

I loved this dish, but my husband and son were only so-so on it. It has a great flavor, but picky eaters may not enjoy the bold taste of ginger and balsamic as much.

It might have been my cooking, but it came out a bit to bitter for my tastes. I would prefer to use soy sauce instead of balsamic vinegar.

Nice dish, good flavor. I am not a fan of capers. I used half of the recommendation.

yuck! I must've done something wrong, because this was really sour and otherwise devoid of flavor. :(

This is my first time cooking Bok Choy. I followed the recipe (but added just a dash of salt)and it turned out great! I will make this again.

I cooked with bok choy for my first time using this recipe! I did not know if what I had was "baby" bok choy, but I had 2 heads so I halved the entire recipe. Also had no capers, they're a bit pricey for me to use. Regardless, this recipe tasted great! I used it for a Meatless Monday dinner and fried up some veggie egg rolls to go with. Boyfriend and I finished our plates, and I am definitely game to cook bok choy again! Did not find this too vinegary or slimy like other reviews state. I think fresh ginger really helped make this dish. If you don't cook with it a lot, it's OK. At the grocery store, just break off a piece in the size you'll need.. You don't have to buy the whole root that you see. I get a piece that is smaller than 1 inch, costs me less than 50 cents and I can make a couple dishes with it usually! :)

My husband and I thought this was very good but the balsamic vinegar added at the end overpowered the dish, in my opinion. I would reduce it to 1TBS. We also didn't add the capers since we didn't have any but I don't think it made too much of a difference.
