"Reunion dinners (a feast held on the night before the first day of the Lunar New Year) are spent with family near and far, and bok choy is common, as the leafy green represents long life. Greens also symbolise growth, good fortune and prosperity. Bok choy is a spectacular crunchy backdrop to the garlic, ginger and chilli aromatics in this dish, finished with a splash of fish sauce for extra oomph. Vegetarians can use 1 tbs soy sauce mixed with 1 tbs sesame oil instead." – Lara Lee
