Bok Choy Recipe — Healthy Bok Choy Soup

This post may contain affiliate links.

This bok choy recipe is one of my favorites. Bok choy is a type of cabbage, and quite versatile. It’s easily found in markets and sold in several shapes and sizes under the name bok choy ranging from dinky baby bok choy to larger size “white cabbages” that I like to use in soup.

Bok Choy Recipe Ingredients:
1 large BOK CHOY (rough chopped)
2 medium SWEET POTATOES (cubed)
1 medium ONION (chopped)
CHILI PEPPERS (to taste)
2 Tbsp GINGER (sliced, minced)
5-7 cloves GARLIC (chopped)
1 Tbsp CORIANDER POWDER
1 tsp MANGO POWDER
1 tsp LEMONGRASS POWDER (or sub. fresh lemongrass)
1 can COCONUT MILK
½ cup fresh BASIL (chopped)
SALT and PEPPER to taste
WATER enough to cover ingredients

Bok Choy Recipe Directions:
In a soup pot, heat oil on medium high heat and add the ginger, garlic, chili peppers (or jalepenos, or whatever your favorite heat is–or no heat if you wanna skip the bite), and onion.
Saute for a minute or two and then add in the corriander, mango powder, and lemongrass powder (if using fresh lemongrass, add in with onions). Mix well and saute for another minute.
Add in sweet potatoes, skinned and cubed into ½ inch peices.
Add one 13.5 oz can of coconut milk and 1 can of water.
Bring pot to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 5-6 minutes.
While pot simmers, separate the bok choy stalks from the leaves and wash well.
When the 5-6 minutes are up, add in the bok choy stalk bottoms and mix well. Add more water if needed. The water should be just enough to cover the soup ingredients, add sparingly.
Bring pot back to a simmer, cover and let cook for another 2 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the bok choy leaves and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the fresh chopped basil and remove from the heat.
And that’s it.
Eat it when you wanna eat it.
Soup is a great opportunity to clean out the fridge, so experiment with adding other veggies. I often add carrots and bell pepper.

    It should be dirty. It grows in the ground.

  2. FitAnge S

    Yum that looks and sounds so delicious. Thank you for sharing this. 

  3. yazhe

    I’ve tried real hard to enjoy sweet potato, but it just ain’t happening.
    Anything I could sub for that, other than regular old potato? Would that
    be good?

  4. Doone226

    Thanks for the good looking recipe. Does the mango powder add an acidity?
    If not, maybe adding some lime juice.

  5. Brandon Nintendo

    Do you deliver?

  6. Robert Peters

    Great looking soup chef! I think I would add another can of coconut milk
    to make it even creamier and less water! Thanks for the recipe too! 

  7. SirHammerHead888

    What an absolute delicious looking soup…can’t wait to try this!! Don’t
    know where the H E Double Hockey Sticks I’m gonna find lemongrass powder &
    mango powder though?! Would maybe a little lemon & lime juice and/or a
    spoonful of mango frozen concentrated juice work?? Cheers to Chef “Boom”
    Buck!

    Adding chicken or vegetable broth to the coconut milk will provide so much
    more flavor. Also, throwing in some fresh lemongrass, a couple kafir lime
    leafs and a couple shakes of fish sauce will really round out the Thai vibe.

    Or to go more Indian, use garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric and
    curry powder then throw in some diced tomato for a “curry soup”.

    Chef buck, your such an amazing guy! I love all of your videos. In your
    next video can you teach us how to make a stromboli?

    Keep up the amazing work !

  10. jbooks888

    Sounds delicious, but I would say use chicken stock instead of water for
    even more deliciosity.

  11. BaubleRob

    Pretty sure we call it pak choi in the UK. Someone needs to standardise the
    spelling. I’ll get right on it after I sort out the Burma/Myanmar thing.

  12. Ardent Dfender

    One thing about Bok Choy especially the big version like in the video, is
    that most people don’t know what to do with it and its also dirt cheap in
    the Grocery Store for such a big vegetable. Im not sure exactly why its so
    cheap exactly. But for a vegetable in the grocery store its almost the
    cheapest one there is and Bok Choy has great flavor. You can’t go wrong
    buying it for a green vegetable to use to Saute, Steam or Cook with in a
    Soup for the cost.

  13. CauldronShow

    Does Bok Choy have a lot of akaline in it similar to celery or no?

  14. Tanner Herzman

    you from louisiana?

    Delicious!! Love bok choy!
