Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb. baby bok choy about 3 bulbs

- 3 cups cold water
- squish of fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Separate the bok choy leaves from the stems and slice.
- Heat oil in a medium pot over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the garlic and turmeric, stir and cook for just a couple of minutes or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add in the bok choy stems and season with salt and pepper. Once the stems begin to soften, stir in the leaves and the water. Turn up the heat and bring everything to a boil.

We joined a local CSA program and we have been receiving veggies we are not familiar with. One of which, Bok Choy. Would these dishes be easy to freeze and store for the winter months? I am going to try freezing the soup for sure any advice?

My guess is that they would do just fine in the freezer 🙂

Love to try the soup first. Recovering from surgery…
Then try the stir fry. Just harvested my first bok choi from my very own tiny garden 🙂
