The shiitake, carrots and peppers are additionally my addition. Even though leeks are mostly historical in Western cuisine, they are a astronomical change for Bok Choy and the Thai flavors complement them wonderfully. I additionally adore that there isn’t this kind of thing as a must brown the thighs as they will soak up loads of taste from marinating and from the braising liquid for the length of its leisurely cooking. The cooking methodology historical on this gracious recipe is intensely versatile and could presumably even be efficiently adapted for cooking beef or veal shanks and additionally beef or pork ribs and I purchase to slowly braise duck legs.
