Ingredients
Bok Choy
Bok choy is also known as pak choi, pak choy, Peking cabbage, white mustard cabbage and Chinese white cabbage (not to be confused with Chinese cabbage or Napa cabbage). Although it is a member of the cabbage family, it does not have the familiar tightly packed head of other cabbages. It has a mild cabbage flavor that is slightly sweet and slightly spicy.
The leaves resemble oversized dark green romaine lettuce, with a crisp white spine somewhat like celery. Choosing bok choy is similar to choosing lettuce. Look for leaves that are firm and crisp with a stalk that is not floppy or wilted.
In U.S. markets there are few varieties available, yet in Hong Kong more than twenty types of bok choy can be found. More are coming to America, including baby bok choy. This smaller version can easily be found at Asian markets. Where the bok choy is often as long as 12 to 15 inches, the smaller variety has leaves about six inches long.
There is a very high amount of Vitamin A in bok choy – about 3500 IU in a 4 ounce serving as well as about 50 mg of Vitamin C and 15% of the RDA of calcium.
