Ginisang Pechay with Ground Pork and Shrimp is a simple dish that I made using chopped bok choy leaves. I added ground pork and tiny pieces of frozen shrimp to complete the dish. These ingredients has what it takes for a successful ginisang pechay; it has the texture from the crisp white stalks of the bok choy and flavors from the ground pork and shrimp.
Ginisang pechay has many health benefits. Bok choy is a super vegetable known to be rich in vitamins K, C, and A. It also has iron, potassium and many other nutrients. Pork is rich in protein, while shrimp is high in selenium and other nutrients.

I consider this as one of the quickest dishes to cook because it can be completed in less than 25 minutes. I find it convenient to prepare because the ingredients are easy to find and I can assemble it without time constraints.
