Growing up Asian, baby bok choy was a staple in our family's diet, and I've always loved it. It was always lightly stir-fried with a few slivers of ginger, and salt added to taste. The bok choy was always crunchy and the light seasonings didn't mask the taste of the vegetable.

I agree with the two entries above, bok choy is excellent stir fried fast over a ripping hot wok until it is only tender crisp, accent on the crisp. My absolute favorite way to eat it, in fact almost the only way I eat it, is with the stems stir fried with some mushrooms with a little good quality soy sauce and fresh ginger, then just before eating I wilt the leaves in and add some toasted sesame oil and some cashews.

Having been fed ceam of corn, mashed potatoes, and cream of spinach as the only vegetables that existed, especially for a little kid: my vegetable world burst open at the start of college and I've never looked back.
I agree with your other readers about keeping it simple as a quick stirfry with ginger and garlic, splash of soy sauce, and sesame oil. OR, steam with fish, chicken or tofu using either chicken broth or vegetarian broth. You just can't go wrong with this green!

This is my favorite.

Sounds like another winner from Fine Cooking! I like bok choy, but it's not a veggie I've ever gotten passionate about like some others. This sounds like an interesting way to prepare it; I think I've only done Asian versions with a soy-sauce based sauce.

I put baby bok choy in Quiche instead of spinach. I like the crunchy texture.

I love bok choy. My favorite recipe uses the "adult" version raw. I found it on allrecipes.com. It is as follows:

For the salad:
1 head of bok choy, chopped into bite size pieces
4 scallions, chopped in 1/4" pieces

For the toppings:
1/4 cup (or more) slivered almonds (toasted or raw)
1 package ramen noodles, crumbled, uncooked
1 tbsp butter

For the dressing:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce

Whisk the ingredients for the dressing until combined. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute ramen noodles until golden brown. Combine bok choy and scallion in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and top with slivered almonds and ramen noodles. Serve while the noodles are still warm.

You can also add toasted sesame seeds to this recipe if you'd like. Enjoy!

I just grilled baby bok choy too, and it's quite lovely and different from the stir-fry dishes with which I've always associated it. I paired it with some grilled asparagus and eggplant. The recipe and photos are on my site if you're curious.

That recipe sounds delish. If anyone knows a good recipe for a bok choy and tofu dish, please let me know!
