You might see it in its adult variety:

or as baby bok choy:

adult bok choy should be cooked, but baby bok choy is tender and can be eaten raw or cooked.

* wash well, though it is rarely as sandy as other greens
* It can be lightly sauteed, or sauteed until well done like other greens
* saute with soy sauce (extra good additions include onions, garlic, and/or mushrooms)
* sauteed bok choy is excellent with sesame peanut noodles or with tofu.

for baby bok choy:
*great in salads. tasty dressings include:
** peanut sauce dressing
** a touch of teriyaki sauce

*can be roasted (and then served with any of the above toppings)
