Bok choy, or brassica chinensis to use its scientific name, is classified as a cabbage. Nonetheless, bok choy bears little resemblance to the round European cabbages found in western supermarkets, or to Napa Cabbage for that matter. Its white stalks resemble celery without the stringiness, while the dark green, crinkly leaves of the most common variety is similar to Romaine lettuce.

A smaller version of bok choy(Chinese Cabbage),
baby bok choy has a sweeter, more flavor than regular bok choy. Use baby bok choy wherever you would normally use bok choy.

It's smaller than regular bok choy and more tender.
I sautee it in oil and add some ginger. Let it cook down. It tastes OK.
