Bok choy is a leafy green vegetable with thick, crisp stems and dark green leaves. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor, with a hint of bitterness. It is commonly used in stir-fries, soups and salads.
Look bok choy with firm and crisp stalks with vibrant green leaves. Avoid bok choy with wilting or yellowing leaves, as this indicates it may be less fresh.
To enjoy bok choy, start by separating the stalks from the leaves. The stalks can be stir-fried, sautéed, or added to soups, while the tender leaves can be eaten raw in salads or lightly cooked.
Wrap in a damp paper towel and place in a plastic bag or airtight box. Store in the refrigerator crisper, where it can stay fresh for up to a week.
