Low in calories

Very rich source of many vital phyto-nutrients, vitamins, minerals and health-benefiting anti-oxidants
 
To retain the maximum number of nutrients & flavour saute rather than boil or steam. Slice and let sit for 5 minutes to enhance its health-promoting benefits before cooking.
 
Try bok choy raw as a substitute to cabbage in salads & coleslaws & you will be pleasantly surprised at how great it is
 
Toss in a salad or make an Asian slaw by adding shredded carrot, chopped coriander & toasted sesame seeds & dress with a little soy sauce, sesame oil & lime juice

Slice in half lengthways & wash well.  If serving whole wash under running water riffling the leaves.. If using in a stir fry, slice the stems separately, add before the (roughly torn) leaves, fold in at the very last minute.

When blanching, you need only do so for a few seconds, thicker stemmed Bok Choy will need a little longer, But remember the appeal is in the fresh crunch.
 
After a quick steam or blanch, the less done the better.
