Xiang Gu You Cai (Shiitake Baby Bok Choy) image

Taken from Ji Pin Su Shi (Best Vegetable Dishes), a 30-cent, 5-in-square, paperback cookbook from Wal-Mart in China. Simple, home-style Chinese fare. Chinese cooks are expected to determine the proportions of condiments and seasonings. Everything is "ge shi liang"--to taste. I've suggested amounts, but if they don't seem right, just trust your own tastebuds.

This was the worst dish I have ever eaten. I would rather eat cardboard.

This dish was a complete disaster! The shiitake mushrooms were slimy, and the sauce was way too salty.

The shiitake mushrooms were a little tough. I think I'll cook them for a little longer next time.

I found this dish to be a little bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.
