What do yall like about bok choy? I never explicitly deny it but it's never something I'm really excited for.

This dish still looks delicious BTW, just thought I'd ask since it's prominent here and it made me think of asking.

Vitamins and fibre. That's why I eat most vegetables, not because I love them.

Bok choy is great because you can cook an entire head in the microwave in under 5 mins. It's my standard Asian leafy green. I'm not OP though.

Interesting. There are so many veggies I love.

Bok choy isn't the worst tasting, but I think combined with its texture that makes it hard to bite chunks off of, it's frustrating to eat.

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah, the difficulty of biting is why I don't serve it quite like this. Also for cleaning reasons, sometimes some grit will be trapped in the base.

I usually separate the leaves out, and if it's too big, will give them a few chops to make them more bite-size. This means I don't just get a face full of only bok choy.

Honestly I just picked it here because I thought it'd look nice giving a big hit of green color and gives a good texture addition since everything else is pretty soft, this adds some crunch to the dish. For me there's no vegetable that really stands out to me where I will look forward to it, except maybe roast potatoes lol

Can I pay you to come make this for my wife and I? That looks beyond perfect.
