Does anyone know what this is? I thought it was bok choy but now I am having doubts.

They bolted and I let them run to collect seeds. My Chinese friends are saying that they cook and eat the stalks, flowers and all, in stir fry. The translator isn't helping as it translates everything to cabbage

It looks like Turnip rape (Brassica rapa). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_rapa

Likely could have crossed with another brassica. Or is it possibly the original bok choy was a hybrid?

Fyi saving seeds from brassica species only works for a few generations if you are not saving from population of 30 to 100 plants. Results in inbreeding depression... Also isolating from other brassica species can be problem if you are hoping to maintain the variety

I think this is mustard greens. In my place, we call it 'sawi'. You can make it into a soupy vegetable dish or stir-fry it with a little seasoning. 👍

Looks very much like Bok Choy to me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_rapa
