The most popular Chinese vegetable, Bok choy has a light sweet flavor and is extremely versatile – it can be stir-fried, steamed or added to soup. Better still, it’s loaded with nutrients. Here are my most popular bok choy recipes.

1. Stir-fry Baby Bok Choy

Baby bok choy is popular because it has a more delicate flavor than adult varieties. In this recipe it is paired with fresh ginger and seasonings.

Nutritious bok choy leaves can also be added to soup. Feel free to increase the nutritional value by using homemade chicken broth, or adding cooked chicken or raw, peeled shrimp.
