Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups uncooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 oz cured salt pork, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 large bunch Chinese broccoli, chopped into 2 inch pieces OR 12 oz broccolini chopped into 2-inch pieces plus 1 small head of bok choy leaves and thin parts of stems cut into 3 x 1 inch strips (about 2 cups, packed)
