This peppery Chinese green can be harvested young or left until it’s about 8 inches tall. This recipe uses the larger version, with its sweet white stalks and leafy greens. As long as you have your ingredients prepared in advance, this dish comes together very quickly. Enjoy the bok choy over steamed jasmine rice or cauliflower rice. It’s a lovely side for grilled meats and fish, too.
