What's The Ideal Method For Cleaning Baby Bok Choy?
By Allison Lindsey
Baby bok choy is a nutrient-dense and delicious leafy green vegetable with dozens of applications, but it is also susceptible to soil residue and insects hiding in its leaves.
The best way to clean your baby bok choy doesn't require vegetable wash or a fancy desensitizing concoction — all you need is a knife, a bowl, and fresh water.
Before washing the baby bok choy, cut it vertically in half to expose the inner surfaces and reveal hidden contaminants.
Then, fill a bowl with fresh water and swish around the produce, changing the water three times to ensure you're not washing the bok choy in dirty water.
Finally, pulse it in a salad spinner to remove excess liquid before cooking. If you don't have a salad spinner, try air drying it or patting down the leaves.
