4 servings
4 servings
The chili paste, lemon, and garlic give this recipe a delightful zip which is a welcome way to eat nutrient-rich vegetables like yams and bok choy. The bok choy in this recipe is a great source of calcium and folate. If you can’t find the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, you can skip it and the dish will still be packed with flavor.
