BABY BOK CHOY SALAD
This crunchy salad is from my friend, Louie. The dressing keeps very well in the cupboard, and the quantities for it shown here are enough for three or four batches of salad. The cooking time includes toasting the almonds and pine nuts. Jen -- a reviewer -- is right. This salad is better if it is dressed a while before it is served. But wait to add the crispy noodles just before serving. Leftovers of this get a bit soggy overnight, but are still quite nice the next day.

Steps:
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well. Set aside until needed.
- Toast slivered almonds in a small pan. After about 1 minute, add the pine nuts and continue to toast both ingredients. Stir constantly so these don't burn. When nice browned, remove from pan and set aside to cool.
- Chop bok choy in 1-inch pieces. Wash well to remove grit. Spin dry, or roll in a tea towel to dry.
- Trim green onions and chop (on the diagonal) into 1-inch pieces (use both white and green bits).
- Toss together bok choy, sliced onions, toasted nuts and several very generous sloshes of dressing. Try to dress this at least an hour before it will be served.
- Sprinkle crisp chow mein noodles on top, stir well and serve.

YUMMY BOK CHOY SALAD
This is hands down the best salad that I've ever had. It is definitely a family favourite, and I urge you to just give this one a try. You would think that raw baby bok choy would give this salad a bitter taste, but the dressing makes all the difference.

Almond and baby bok choy asian-salad
- Prep all the various ingredients before you begin cooking, this will make the cooking go much faster.
- Toast the almonds for a richer, fragrant flavour.
- Use a mortar and pestle to crush the coriander seeds and lemongraass for a more rustic flavour, but a coffee grinder may be used if unavailable.
- The bok choy leaves can be kept whole or cut into ribbons. If cutting ribbons, hold the bok choy lengthways and make 4-5 slices lengthwise, then thinly shred across the slices.
- Use the entire spring onions and just remove the hairy darker green root ends.
- Use the wok (or large frying pan) for the almonds, this will ensure even browning and provide the best colour and flavour.
- Use the same wok or frying pan (washed out) for the remaining ingredients, this will deglaze the pan and create a more complex flavour.
- The final flavour for the bok choy can be diilled down to personal taste. Start with 1 tablespoon of light coloured (soy or tamari) and dark coloured (kecap manis) sauces and add more to taste.
- Serve as a side dish with steamed jasmine rice or grilled fish, chicken or tofu.
