Bok Choy

Bok Choy



Bok choy is a crispy, crunchy, sweet vegetable that is used most commonly in Asian dishes.

To prepare, start by trimming the root end about 1-2 inches. The ends can be tough and this ensures that the bok choy will cook evenly.

Then wash thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris from the leaves.





Here is a guide to cooking bok choy:


  • Boiling 3 - 4 minutes for the stalks, 1 - 1 1/2 minutes for leaves.


  • Steaming about 6 minutes for the stalks, 2 - 3 minutes for leaves
  • Stir-fry about 5 minutes for stalks, 2 minutes for leaves - the leaves should be just wilted and bright green.


  • Keep bok choy in the crisper drawer in the fridge in a loose wrapped plastic bag untrimmed until ready to prepare.
