Cultivated in China for centuries, bok choy has played a large part not only in its cuisine, but in traditional Chinese medicine. Today, it’s a staple in both Asian and American recipes.

A deep green leafy vegetable that resembles Romaine lettuce on top and a large celery on the bottom, bok choy is often added raw to salads for a satisfying crunch.
In soups, the leaves and stalks should be chopped and added separately, since the stalks take longer to cook.
Bok choy can also be steamed or boiled, but the stir fry method of cooking seems to release the best flavors. When shredded, it makes great coleslaw.
An alternate take: try bok choy sautéed with ginger and garlic. All these are ideal methods of preparation for a ready-made food that also happens to be loaded with life-giving nutrients.

Bok choy is known by Kimchee in Korean cuisine.

Storage

Bok choy can be refrigerated for 3 to 7 days. Place the unwashed bok choy in a breathable plastic bag.
