To make grilled bok choy, rinse and dry the heads, then halve them lengthwise and brush the cut sides lightly with oil. Grill over medium-high heat until the cut sides are browned and the thick stems have softened.
Yes, small bok choy can be grilled whole, but larger heads cook more evenly when halved lengthwise. If you keep them whole, turn them regularly so the outer leaves do not char before the center softens.
Grilled bok choy tastes mildly sweet and cabbage-like, with a smoky, browned flavor from the grill. Its stems stay juicy while the leaves become tender; charring the leaves too much can make them taste bitter.
Yes, the stems of grilled bok choy are edible and are often the juiciest, crispest part. Rinse away any grit around the base and cook the stems until tender; the leaves can be eaten too.
Keep grilled bok choy from burning by using moderate heat and placing the cut side down first. The leaves cook faster than the thick stems, so move the heads to a cooler part of the grill if the leaves brown before the stems soften.
Garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce complement grilled bok choy particularly well. Add citrus juice after grilling for freshness, and brush on sweet sauces near the end so their sugars do not burn over the heat.
Grilled bok choy works well with rice or noodles and with tofu, fish, or grilled chicken. Serve it as a vegetable side, or top it with sesame seeds and scallions for a simple finish.
No, bok choy does not need blanching before grilling. Halving larger heads helps the heat reach the stems, and grilling them directly gives the cut surfaces a browned flavor without an extra cooking step.
Yes, you can make grilled bok choy in a ridged grill pan or a heavy skillet. Cook the cut sides until browned, then turn the pieces as needed so the thick stems soften without scorching the leaves.
Keep leftover grilled bok choy in a covered container in the refrigerator and use it within a few days. Reheat it briefly in a skillet or microwave; prolonged reheating can make the leaves limp.

Grilled bok choy is a simple way to prepare pak choi, an East Asian leafy cabbage with crisp, pale stalks and tender green leaves. Halved or left whole, it is grilled until the leaves soften and the stalks remain pleasantly firm; a little oil, garlic or soy sauce makes an easy seasoning.
In Chinese-inspired meals and in kitchens worldwide, it works well as a warm side with rice, noodles, fish or other grilled foods. It is light and low in calories, with 16 calories per 100 g, and is noted for vitamins C and K. Brush it lightly with oil rather than pouring it on, and finish with lemon or sesame for a little extra flavour.
Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
