Baby Bok Choy

Also called “Shanghai bok choy,” this diminutive vegetable is not really a baby anything, but a smaller, three- to six-inch–long relative of bok choy. A “jade” variety has a beautiful pale green hue, and other varieties have the traditional milky white stems of bok choy. Its leaves are commonly left whole and used as an edible garnish for other dishes, arranged around the perimeter of the platter. Thai: luuk bok choy; Vietnamese: cãi trắng thựơng-hãi/or đàu-loan
