NOTES : Looking like. a small, leafy nosegay with pearly, lettuce-like
branches spreading from a core,baby bok choy is a cabbage. Until
recently it
was known only to Chinese grocers and cooks, but its appeal has
spread, and
many supermarkets now carry the vegetable. It has two great
advantages: It
steams whole to beautifully decorate a party plate and in the
microwave, it
speeds to such a rapid crunchy doneness, you scarcely turn around
and it's
ready. It can be simply wilted and buttered, oiled, sauced with
soy, or
included in a stir-fry.
