For the recipe, I use mature bok choy available in the market. I use two bunches of it and cut the end part.

You can also use baby bok choy and cutting the bottom is optional. Although I usually still cut them just to clean all the stems prior to cooking, removing the little dirt and soil from the leaves to the stem.
