Doesn’t need to be vegan, but totally rad if it is. Had some bok choy cooked in a miso sauce last night with some fish on top that fucking rocked, and I want more bok choy.

Any favorite recipes or anything?

    Get a bunch of bok choy, and onion, ginger, and, garlic and sautee them all in a big pan with some soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and sesame oil, and you’ve got a great dish right there.

    It doesn’t need much in terms of cooking, the Chinese approach to vegetables is to let their natural fresh taste come through. I like to simply lightly stir-fry (a little above medium heat) with a bit of salt and garlic by themselves or with shiitakes (fresh or rehydrated) cut into chunky strips. You can finish with a little sesame oil drizzled on top. If they’re small you can use the leafy part and stalky part together, if they’re a bit bigger cut each leaf horizontally into 2-3 sections, and put the stalk parts into the pan first for a minute or two before adding the leaves. Better undercooked than overcooked as a general rule.

    i love bok choy and typically just stir fry it with snow peas and onions in sesame oil and finish it with some soy sauce, white pepper, and garlic

    i have never figured out a way to slice them so they fry really well though. i keep going thinner and thinner each time
