"Idealist: One who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup."
-H.L Mencken, Journalist
This is a simple recipe but oh so flavorful. It will go with almost any Asian style meal that you choose as a side dish. It is a little better if you can find spicy Thai basil (which always seems to grow better in my garden than sweet basil). I prefer to use the large bok choy for this salad rather than the little baby bok choy. The texture is a little more coarse and the leaves slightly more bitter but I feel that it makes a better salad. You can also use thinly sliced napa cabbage for this salad.
Gluten Friendly: Those who are gluten sensitive should substitute tamari sauce in place of the soy sauce. There are low sodium versions of tamari sauce.
