Ingredients:
1/2 pound frozen shrimp (no shells), thawed
1 pound bok choy

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoon water
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Cook rice according to package directions to make 4 cups.  Trim the end off the stem of the bok choy and separate the leaves.  Clean under running water.

  Drain.

  Cut stem into 1inch pieces, and the leaves into wide ribbons.  Finely mince garlic and grate fresh ginger.  Add canola oil, sesame oil, and ginger to a cold pan and heat on MEDIUM-HIGH heat.  When the herbs become fragrant and just beginning to turn brown, add the stalks of the bok choy and the shrimp.

  Toss very well to coat with the oil and cook until stalks are just beginning to get tender, and the shrimp has become pink, about 3 minutes.
