Boiled Bok Choy is a wonderful side dish or topping for ramen. There are a few different ways the bok choy can be prepared depending on your preference or desired presentation. Such as boiling them whole, sliced in half, or the leafy green tops separated from the stalk to boil at different times. Either way, the washed and prepared bok choy is boiled in 8 cups of water, 1 Tbl sea salt, 1 Tbl Shaoxing wine & 1 Tbl soy sauce to add some flavor right into the vegetables themselves. Serve on the side with a main course or on top of a ramen bowl as a topping.
