How do I cook boc choy?

Question

Do I steam it or boil it and for how long?

Answer 1

Bok Choi should be steamed, boiled or stir-fried VERY QUICKLY because the leaves are much more delicate than the white stalks. I quite often cut off the leaves and set them aside while I start the stems and I add the leaves at the last minute. I also chop them up and add them to chicken vegetale soup at the end.

saucepan brush the cane with dark soy sauce place baby
