There’s so many ways to elevate bok choy, but sometimes simple is best. This takes me less than 10 minutes to cook these and it adds a nice texture to my meal. Bok Choy is known as a Chinese cabbage. The stalks have a celery crunchy texture, and the leaves are light and crisp.
- Cooking times will vary by how you like your vegetables and by the size. The larger bok choy will require more time whereas the smaller ones will be less time.
- Make sure to rinse bok choy well since we’re not cutting off the stem. You need to carefully lift each leaf individually to properly clean it.
Enjoy!!!
