If you don’t like bok choy, you are not alone!! If you are open to trying again, give one of these recipes a try. One may just convince you how delicious bok choy can be!
Bok Choy is one of those vegetables you either love it, or you hate….there is no in between.
Have you seen all of the bok choy at your local farmer’s markets lately? Bok Choy is from the cabbage family and it is in season and ready for you to try.
I am going to be brutally honest.
My family doesn’t like bok choy very much. It tends to get a bit slimy when cooked, a definite no-no when kids are involved!
It is a shame because this vegetable is packed with over 70 antioxidants, vitamins A & C, and iron. Bok Choy is a healthy choice to incorporate into your diet….if you don’t have picky family members!
Well, I decided to make a challenge and see if I could find ways my kids would eat bok choy.
I found 8 bok choy recipes that will challenge you and your family to give this green vegetable another chance. From recipes with hidden bok choy, to recipes where bok choy takes the center stage, these are MUST TRY recipes. Ready in under 30 minutes, these recipes are perfect for those busy weekday nights!
These Easy Gluten Free Bok Choy Meatballs are a delicious appetizer that will have your guests fooled. Nobody will know bok choy is hidden in these!

June 18, 2015 at 6:28 amI have been loving bok Choy for 30 yrs, so glad that cashiers at Grocery stores are finally familiar with what it is. I love the crunchy texture in stir fry, never had any slimy bok Choy. It s so easy to grow, just throw the leftover base in your soil and you have another head of bok Choy soon. Thanks for sharing these recipes!

June 17, 2015 at 7:55 amI have to say this couldn’t have come at a better time! I get a bi-weekly “harvest box” of fresh non-GMO, and mostly organic vegetables delivered to my house, and we had 3 heads of baby bok choy and literally said last night “what am I going to do with those?!” I think the Bok choy salad with sesame soy sauce will be first on the list! 🙂
Sandi Gaertner
June 17, 2015 at 8:13 pmI thought the same thing when I first got bok choy Kaitie 🙂

Audrey @ Unconventional Baker
June 16, 2015 at 6:03 pmI must admit I have a huge resistance to cooking bok choy myself. I’ve eaten it in delicious dishes before, but when it comes to homemade I just never end up choosing it when shopping. Maybe I should though — these recipes look interesting.
Sandi Gaertner
June 16, 2015 at 8:08 pmI feel the same way Audrey…hope you give one of these recipes a try 🙂
