Bok choy is in the cabbage family, and is very popular in China. In this recipe, it is shredded to resemble a coleslaw, but that is where the resemblance to that creamy classic ends. This dish is very spicy and full of flavor. It not only tastes great, but is strangely fun to eat. If you have chile paste, use 2 teaspoons of that instead of the red pepper flakes.

Bramboracky (Czech Savory Potato Pancakes)
Bramboracky (bram-bor-atch-key) are pan-fried Czech savory potato pancakes. They're best accompanied by beer. My Czech boyfriend and I often have fun with this recipe. Potato pancakes are commonly associated with Czech, Ukrainian, Yiddish, German, Hungarian, and Polish cuisines, although other cuisines (including those of India and Korea) also have similar potato pancakes.
