Bok choy is rich in folate, vitamins A, C and K. It’s an excellent source of calcium and fiber. This dark green leafy vegetable is loaded with phytonutrients, plant-based compounds that help lower inflammation and reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Here’s a recipe I found that I can’t wait to try! I’m planning to make with a simple honey ginger crock pot chicken and serve with some boil-in-a-bag brown rice.

- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 shallot, diced
- 1 lb baby bok choy, rinsed and cut into quarters
- 1 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallot and cook, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds. Add bok choy, soy sauce and 2 Tbsp water. Cover immediately and cook for 1 minute. Remove lid and flip bok choy and recover. Cook an additional 3-5 minutes until bok choy is tender at the core.
This is such a great vegetable to add to your 7 day One Challenge of eating something green every day! I am going to enjoy being a part of this challenge, as it’s easy for me to fall into a rut of cooking the same vegetables. I’m looking forward to trying some new recipes! I will be sure to add super simple options this week as well! Remember, this is not supposed to be hard. If you don’t cook, a simple salad with lunch is always an option! Steam in the bag green veggies can simply be tossed in the microwave!
