Bok choy is also called “Chinese cabbage.” But it’s not a cabbage. It’s more like a chard and a cabbage had a funky baby. And that baby gets brown spots. It’s a badge of authenticity—like a scruffy, cool friend who always has a story.
Every time you buy bok choy, you’re buying a little enigma. Will it be spotless? Probably not. Will it be delicious? Always.
