baby bok choy with mint and orange

The baby variety of bok choy is smaller, more monochromatic with a more subtle flavor. My children wrap the leaves around the oranges and cry, “surprise” as they bite into each juicy mouthful!

Pour water into a medium-sized stainless steel skillet until it is about one inch high. Add a pinch of sea salt and bring to a boil.

When the water is boiling, add the bok choy pieces.

Immerse them for about one minute and then, when they are a brighter color green, remove with a skimmer.
