This Bok Choy Wild Mushroom Soba Noodle Soup might be the most nutrient dense soup we’ve ever created!
Bok choy is one of the most nutrient dense foods on this planet. Not only is it micronutrient rich, it is also one of the most flavorful and fun to work with greens when making meals.

What is Bok Choy

Bok choy is a green cabbage that originates from China. Bok choy is a cruciferous vegetable that is a part of the mustard family such as cabbage, turnips, broccoli, and kale.
Cabbage seeds were found in the Chinese Yellow River Valley, confirming foods like bok choy have been consumed within the Chinese culture for over 6,000 years.
Bok choy has been enjoyed as a delicacy since the 19th century. The entire plant is edible, from the more dense stalk to the soft leafy heads.

Why You Should Eat Bok Choy

Bok choy is rich in vitamins A and C. One cup of cooked bok choy fulfils the full RDA of vitamin A and two-thirds of the RDA for vitamin C.
Vitamin A is essential for sustaining healthy vision, a healthy immune system, and even reproductive health. Vitamin A is also important for many vital organs to function properly such as the heart, kidneys, and lungs.

What Goes Well with Bok Choy

Bok choy goes fantastic with coconut aminos, ginger, and shallots which are all ingredients we included in this recipe for you to try.
You can steam, sauté, and boil bok choy, or even add it to dishes chopped up raw. It is a very versatile vegetable that adds a fresh umami flavor to dishes.
We hope you enjoy this veggie packed soup!
