HOW TO PREPARE BOK CHOY FOR SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add water, chicken base, potatoes, carrots, bok choy, and celery; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Add chicken; continue simmering until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Having grown up with bok choy, my parents are masters at keeping it fresh. They usually buy bok choy in bulk (5-6 pounds at a time), so they have a bunch of tips for maximizing freshness.
• To prepare our pork chops, we'll first need to trim away the fatty edges.
• You'll need to wash the baby bok choy thoroughly:
• The stalks of bok choy are all inherently different sizes, so we'll want to make two cuts for the bigger stalks:
• Set your stove to high heat. In a pot, we'll bring water and chicken broth to a boil.
• Once the pot has come to a boil, we'll throw in our bok choy, starting with the stems/roots. These are thicker and take longer to cook.
• Once the bok choy has returned to a boil, add the pork slices a few at a time, making sure to separate them from one another. We can also add chicken bouillon (optional).
• After you’ve cooked it, we can keep the bok choy in the soup and eat it as is.
