What is shown in this coloring page?

Bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage. It doesn’t form a tight head like regular cabbage. Instead, it has dark, leafy greens that grow in a cluster from a thick, crunchy, white stalk. It’s a staple in many Asian dishes, like stir-fries and soups, and is packed with vitamins and minerals.
