Steps
- 01Separate the leaves and wash thoroughly. Sand hides in the base where the leaves meet.
- 02Pat completely dry. Wet bok choy steams instead of crisping.
- 03Toss with a small amount of sesame oil and spray with cooking oil.
- 04Season with salt.
- 05Ready for the air fryer. The leaves shrink dramatically.
Baby bok choy, not full-sized. Baby bok choy leaves are tender enough to crisp in the air fryer. Full-sized bok choy has thick, watery stems that need a longer cook and are better suited to stir-frying or braising.
