Bok Choy originated in the Yangtze River Delta region of China. Also known as ‘Chinese Cabbage,’ Bok Choy is a very young and tender cabbage that doesn’t form a densely packed leaf head. In our Virginia climate, Bok Choy grows well in the spring and fall.
Bok choy is delicious raw shredded into salads as well as braised, grilled, sauteed, steamed or boiled. Bok Choy has a relatively high water content ratio, which means it can stay tender and juicy after being cooked. Popular in Asian cuisine, Bok Choy adds a wonderful crunch to stir fries and broths. Bok Choy pairs especially well with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame seeds.
