Bok choy is a mild-flavored Chinese leafy vegetable with crisp white stalks and dark green leaves. Commonly used in stir-fries and soups, its name is usually spoken as two words: first the short vowel-bounded 'bok' and then the 'choy' rhymes with 'boy'. In English, it’s a loanword from Cantonese, often treated as a compound noun in menus and grocery labeling.
