Bok choy is a variety of Chinese cabbage. While baby bok choy is more tender, this recipe can also be made with standard bok choy. Allow for a slightly longer cook time on the stems and tear the larger leaves into smaller 4- to 5-inch pieces before wilting.
For other flavors, try different varieties of Asian greens such as choy sum or gai lan. Add crushed red pepper flakes or chili oil for a spicy variation.
