Can kale be subbed in stirfry for bok choy ?

Probably, but they have different textures. Doesn't bok choy resemble
celery?

They are not very similar as they have different families, flavour and
habit. Celery has much more stalk in proportion to leaves than most asian
brassicas.

Of course we may have trouble agreeing on what is bok choy, there are many
Asian brassicas such as bok choy, pak choy, choy sum, een choy, wong buk,
the list goes on. Most are varieties of Brassica rapa. Look here for
details. http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au...sica_rapa.html

Never underestimate the capacity of people to find different names for the
same thing or the same name for different things. As well there is the
tendency for the varieties to cross pollinate, so you could end up with your
own cultivar if you grow several kinds near each other.
