Bok choy, Win-Win Choi
Bok choy, Mei Qing Choi
I have finally found a really great bok choi variety. Win-Win Choi is sooooo good! It looks beautiful in my garden and is fantastic stir-fried with garlic, ginger. One of my favorite vegetables!
I haven't tried my Mei Qing Choi yet. It seems maybe its taking longer to mature and doesn't have the nice white stems. I am looking forward to trying it.
Other varieties I have tried have bolted fast, or have been too cabbagy. I may fill my garden with yummy Win-Win!
Hi! I've been following your blog for gardening tips since I'm a transplant from the southeast. I just had to chime in on this post.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom Bok Choi variety is sometimes called "baby bok choi" and it won't get the bright white stem you describe. It will remain a pale green. The current pic you have of the Mei Qing Choi looks ready to eat now. It is more tender and sweet, so try stirfrying it as you know how, but with a little less spices so you can taste its more delicate flavors. It will also cook a little faster.
Enjoy!
Believe I'll give Win-Win a try...been shopping around for a good bok choi the last few seasons and haven't settled on anything yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll go pick that Baby today.
