My husband created this recipe a few weeks ago when we had baby bok choy to eat up. We have had it several times since then and love it.

Sounds like something I would love. I don’t have miso paste in my kitchen though, is it easy to find?
It is a fairly common ingredient. Depending on where you are located, you should be able to find it in the Asian section of a large grocery store. Also, if you have any small Asian grocery stores around you, you could find it there. It comes in a little tub.
