elaborate

I wanted to defend it but I have to agree.. much too fibrous to be enjoyable, have to base and leaves up separate in order to get cooking time right for each. Just too much work to cook at home, but I do like it when I eat out

Get filtered tastelet

You're supposed to eat it, not fuck it.

damn right, this is a yu choy board and don't you ever forget it

Baby bok choy is where it's at, it's superior in every way

>>14661877
Fuck you.

bok choi fucking rules, it's best in its class

When did the world suddenly decide Pak Choi was called Bok Choi instead?
I feel like it was 3-5 years ago.

but yeah it's pretty mediocre. I like a crunchy green but it's too stringy raw and turns into a slimy mess even when blanched. Mustard Cabbage is better in every way.

steamed bok choi is tasty I like it a lot. chinese broccoli is also great

god's chosen people's chosen green comin' through

Also complete tangent, but I have a friend who is an oncology researcher and apparently the anti-cancer potential of these kind of cruciferous veg is ridiculous. As in smokers who eat them regularly have lower cancer rates than non-smokers who don't. The cancer incidence rate in places like south china where they eat them regularly is like a quarter of provinces next door where they don't grow. Doesn't work for every kind cancer apparently...something something cell lines or some shit. Take away was, eating them 4-5 times a week is like a cheat code for cancer.

literally just stack the leaves up and chop in half separate leaves and stems . how much work is that..? do you even wash your veggies? i bet you dont

Does this work on liver disease in alcoholics? Or do you know of any cheat codes for it?

>>14663842
interesting
this for real? im a smoker
maybe its time to spam BAK CHOY

>>14663864
I'm a smoker too which is why we were talking about it.
I can't really "vouch" for it, oncology research is notoriously difficult because you can't really do controls.
But he was pretty convinced, like when I asked what I should be doing to lower my risks he said it was right up there with sunscreen and less well known.
>>14663869
I remember he said it didn't seem to affect leukemia and bone cancers and a handful of others. I don't remember if liver disease was one.

North american "bok choy" grown in California or wherever the fuck is shit. Its usually light green and way too fucking big and are almost as goddamn watery as celery. Go for baby bok instead. Theyre much smaller, more flavorful, are very hearty and goes well in ramen / soups or just stir fry it in garlic and oyster sauce.

I fucking hat you ugly man

Half celery half spinach! Win win...

>>14661877
if you're keeping a kitchen garden and you live in a cold region bok choi is pretty much essential

>>14663864
the cheat code is giving up the drink ya souse
