- 2 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
- 4 to 6 bunches bok choy, cut in half lengthwise
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup

Preparation
- Heat a large skillet on medium-high and cook the bacon (without adding butter or oil) until crispy. Transfer bacon to drain on a paper towel, leaving drippings in the skillet.
