Vietnamese Pork Chops and Sauteed Bok Choy
I love dinner on the fast and easy, especially when I have been out all day in the sun. I love to waltz in and have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. It just really makes my day. This is one of those recipes. Seriously the chops take 4 minutes per side and the longest part is actually assembling everything and having it ready to go.
I am ashamed to tell you what we ate with these but lets just say it was NOT rice.

Hi Laura! I “Alaskanized” this recipe tonight using moose backstrap steaks, kale, chard & turnip threads from my garden and put it all on brown & black rice cooked with moose bone broth. Yummy, thanks for the inspiration!
so you got your moose! Awesome–I love your variations-I love to hear how people get inspired and make something their own!
