Comfort healthy food-peasant/home Asian style

I've never microwaved eggs before. Most of our cooking is from scratch. Microwave is handy for certain leftovers.
This egg dish I made, should be eaten up lst time. It wouldn't taste as nice as a leftover next day.

Bok choy is always recommended cooked. It doesn't take long..just a small amount of oil, chopped bok choy (in large chunks after it's washed and leaf stalks separated), add if you want, abit of chopped onion, 1 smashed garlic and sautee/stir fry lightly. Add some water and abit of soy sauce (1 large jot, that's all). For 1 person, a small boy choy bundle size of your fist or bigger, will shrink down in cooking.

Cooks in less than 5-8 min. for 1 serving. You still want the leaf quite green, but soft in texture. If it's dull green, that means it's overcooked.

I was even lazier --I didn't add any onions, garlic. Of course, you can stir fry marinated meat slices and add bok choy later. Very versatile.

Sauteed veggie dish is abit pointless to save as a leftover for next day. It would disappear into something pathetic in microwave. Its nutrient profile: http://nutrition.about.com/od/fruits.../p/BokChoy.htm

I haven't had cabbage..in years, except sauerkraut which we buy. We don't make any slaw at home.
