DIY Asian Greens

Bok Choy is a versatile green- use large leaves in soups, small ones in stir-fries and salads. It tends to wilt quickly so keep it on the counter in a bowl of water or refrigerate it unwashed in an open plastic bag in the vegetable drawer for up to 3 days (just enough time till the next CSA share when you’ll be ready for more)
