BABY BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE
We love the combination of bright green vegetables such as bok choy or broccoli and oyster sauce. Garlicky and a little spicy, this version has a sweet-acidic punch from the addition of balsamic vinegar which has similar qualities to Chinese black vinegar. Recipe developed by Food Network Kitchen.

BEEF AND BROCCOLI WITH OYSTER SAUCE
This is from the Williams-Sonoma Cookbook, and it is SOOOOOO good! *I made this using top sirloin instead of the flank steak. Also to cut some cooking time instead of boiling the broccoli, I microwaved it for 2 minutes in a bowl with a tablespoon of water covered in saran wrap.

BABY BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE
This is among the easiest, most flavorful preparations of greens imaginable, and it pairs beautifully with almost any vaguely Asian roasted meat or fish. It is also exceptional on its own, with rice. You could swap out the bok choy for broccoli, if that's all you have, or chard, or beet greens.
