First time buyer folks and a complete newbie to its many uses and cooking methods. Gimme some ideas / recipes, please.
TIA, Denny
I like to stir fry it. Just put some oil or bacon grease in a wok, add some spice like garlic, onion, red pepper, ginger, etc and cook. Towards the end mix some starch in sherry or rice wine to thicken it and add some soy sauce.
I cook a lot of different types of bok choy. Never heard it called bok choy lettuce until now. I stir fry it in a wok usually add garlic, chicken stock, sesame oil, corn starch to thicken.
Chicken stock on the list. Thanks.
We use it as part of stir-fry as well. I cut the leaves from the white, fry the white along with other "hard" vegetables, and stir the leaves in just before serving.
Try roasting it in oven with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper....TASTY!!
It's not lettuce, but actually a verity Chinese cabbage, Either way I love it. We roast or steam it like brussel's sprouts and finish with balsamic glaze. Never met a cabbage I didn't like.

Feed it to your rabbit pen.
Eat the rabbits.
You could always make Kim Chee out of it.
One of the best no carb wraps out there. For tacos, sloppy Joe's, etc.
Use in soups, stir fry or oven roast.
I use the tender green part mixed in with rice pilaf.
The harder white parts add crunch to salads.
