Bok Choy and Tofu Stir Fry is a simple yet delicious dish. This flavorful dish can be made with few ingredients and very quickly. I have marinated the tofu so that it absorbs flavors well. Pan frying the tofu makes it crisp from outside and soft from inside.
Bok Choy is also known as pak choi. This leafy-green Chinese vegetable belongs to the cabbage family. It is best suited to brief stir-frying or steaming to keep its mild flavor. It is also recommended that the leafy portion be cooked separately from the stems as the leaves cook much more quickly.
