My 4 and a half year old daughter Ariel is fascinated with wacky vegetables. It all started after her class took a trip to the market during a unit on fruit and vegetables. One that she found very funny was ‘bok choy’ or ‘butt choy’ as she kept accidentally calling it. Of course us laughing made it a running joke and she insisted we have some for dinner.
This recipe is super easy, and one of my ‘crazy night’ meals that pleases everyone around the table. Everyone always wants seconds, including my 19 month old son Xander who holds out his bowl demanding more. In fact its hard to have leftovers with this dish, so be warned, haha.
4-5 slices of bacon (chopped into bite size pieces)
5 cups of chopped bok choy
chow mein noodles
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 eggs
In a wok, cook the chopped up bacon until it softens. While doing this, cook the noodles in a separate pot and drain. Save them until later in the recipe. Add the chopped bok choy to the bacon in the wok and continue cooking until the stalks are translucent. Add the cooked noodles, oyster sauce and garlic. Cook and keep stirring until heated thoroughly and coated with oyster sauce. Add the eggs and stir in until cooked. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Sounds yummy! Rookie question though: Will the eggs coat the pasta or become more of a scrambled egg (like fried rice)?Keep up the amazing work, love following you!

Hi BB, I just made this and the eggs mostly coat the pasta, but with white specks of egg throughout.This was my first time making it and I just have to say WOW! This is so good! Cole took one bite and said “Oh. My. Gosh. Can you make this every night?” Why yes, I think I just might.

Found this recipe on Gojee. It was really good. I did have to make a few modifications based on what I had, but thought I’d share them since it turned out really good. I didn’t have enough bok choy. So, I supplemented with thinly sliced red bell pepper. I also used Pad Thai sauce instead of oyster sauce. Other than those 2 things, I kept to the recipe. The bell pepper really added a nice pop of color to the dish. It was super easy and quick for a week night meal. Thanks so much for sharing.
