- Bok choy is a staple ingredient in Chinese cuisine, with a long history of cultivation thought to date back around 2,500 years in China. The combination with oyster sauce is a standard in Cantonese cooking, as the umami of the oyster sauce enhances the unique bitterness of the bok choy, creating a perfect balance. This dish, offered in the multicultural environment of Singapore, can be easily prepared by anyone just by quickly reducing the oyster sauce and tossing it with the bok choy. Even so, our food reporter fell in love with China after just one plate of bok choy - their speed of falling in love is truly world-class!
