Slice bok choy stems from leaves. Cut widest part of stalks in half lengthwise; then cut stalks across on a slant to make ½-inch wide slices. Halve leaves lengthwise, then slice across ½ inch wide. Quarter and core the apple (do not peel). Cut each quarter crosswise into ⅛-inch slices.
Heat oil in large skillet; add ham and toss for a minute. Add bok choy stems
