Bok Choy Stir Fry - Revisited (Farm to Table)

Bok Choy is one of those vegetables that is extremely easy to grow. It matures in 40-45 days and is tastes great stir fried or in soups. Though I have not added them to dals and curries they should work perfectly well. Bok Choy is a vitamin and fiber rich green vegetable that is readily available even if you are not interested in growing them. Increasing the fiber content and vegetable intake is always a good thing for your health.
