    • About

    A brief simmer in water to which oil and/or butter has been added transforms bok choy. Choose vase-shaped Shanghai type or small, pearly-stemmed Canton, or the heart (sum) of either. Select heads of equal size so they cook evenly. For variety, toss with minced fresh dill and chives instead of cheese.

    Ingredients

    • 4 to 6 “baby” Shanghai or Canton bok choy or 8 to 10 bok choy hearts (to equal 1¼ to 1½ pounds)

    Method

    1. If individual bok choy weighs 4 ounces or more, halve lengthwise; if smaller, leave whole and cut a deep slit in the base. With leaf tips down, plunge into water, dunking energetically to reach sandy depths. Repeat until bases of stalks are clean.
    2. Arrange bok choy in very wide deep skillet. Add water to just cover. Add salt and oil. Cover and bring to a boil. W
