Yummy Fried Bok Choy with Noodles

Home grown Bok Choy are so much nicer to eat and so fresh. I had the opportunity to use freshly grown Bok Choy from my own yard. They were growing in a big planter, so you might be able to do this on your balcony or patio as well. The spot were my Bok Choy was growing was only getting late afternoon sun. So if your planter is in a sunny spot it might not be growing as well. But just try it. We bought tiny Bok Choy plants and put them in our planter. It is very easy to grow. In a couple of weeks you can harvest them.

Bok Choy is very easy to prepare as well. I washed the vegetables under rinsing water, took out the part where the leaf blades are growing together. Put the leaves in a strainer to dry them for usage. You can cut the leaf blades in smaller pieces or cut them with scissors, what I always do.

Bok Choy is actually cabbage and is very healthy for your bones, since it is stuffed with:

calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, vitamin K, C and A, potassium and folate

Bok Choy is very low in calories: one cup shredded Bok Choy has only around 9 calories!
