Want to know how to boil bok choy so that it still produces the right aroma, here's a trick quoted from Ehow.

  2.  Add water with kosher salt to taste. The salty taste of brine is a good indicator of how salty bok choy is.
  3.  Add 1 tsp lemon juice, 4 black peppercorns, 1 lemongrass stalk, and 2 fennel leaves to the pot.
  4. Adjust the heat to boil the water. Cut the stems into 1/3-inch pieces. Put the bok choy as a whole, but by breaking them one by one, then take the cover, and boil the water for five minutes. Add green leaves, cover, and simmer for two minutes.
  5. Drain the bok choy in a colander, then serve hot.
