Frequently Asked Questions

Bok choy are leafy greens with stems. The entire vegetable is edible, so you can eat the stems and leaves. Before cooking, you might want to trim off the tough chewy part of the bottom stems.
How Do You Clean or Prepare Bok Choy?
The easiest way to clean the vegetables is by soaking them in cold water, in a big bowl or container. This will remove the majority of the dirt from the leaves and stems. For stubborn dirt hiding in the inside stems, rinse it with cold running water.

Is this made with baby or adult?
Either is fine.
Can use air fryer to toast the veg?
This is a lovely recipe. I served with a sticky five spice chicken and rice and was great! Will definitely make again.
Tried this recipe this evening for dinner. Didn’t roast as I didn’t have time to let the oven heat up. Pan sauted until slightly caramelized and wilted. The sauce is delicious. Definitely a keeper and will roast next time.
Awesome!
