Add the stock and soy sauce and cover. Bring the liquid to a boil , reduce the heat and simmer the buk choy on low for 5-7 minutes, until tender.
Remove buk choy from pan and increase the heat to medium-high, reduce the liquid until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the butter.
To serve, place buk choy on platter and top.
