There are two types of baby bok choy. Here's what you need to know when you go shopping.
Regular bok choy has white stalks and dark green leaves with a crinkly texture, while Shanghai bok choy boasts wide, jade-colored stalks shaped like soupspoons. While we found that Shanghai has a milder, more celery-like flavor compared to the more mineral-like taste of regular bok choy, both work equally well in our recipes.
REGULAR: Mineral flavor
SHANGHAI: Sweet and mild
