Description
xOcado Baby Pak Choi.
Depending on seasonal growing conditions, your baby pak choi may be either white or green-stemmed.
Pak choi, also known as bok choy, is a leafy green vegetable with a mild, pleasant flavour. It's a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, but its versatility makes it suitable for a variety of dishes.
Baby pak choi is harvested earlier, when the leaves are smaller and more tender. It generally has a milder flavour with a more delicate texture. The stalks are also shorter and thinner.
Buyer pak choi has a mild flavour that is slightly sweet, with a hint of bitterness in the paddle-shaped dark green leaves. The thick, creamy-coloured stalks have a more pronounced sweetness and the taste is often described as a cross between cabbage and spinach, with a subtle mustard-like flavour.
The texture of pak choi is crisp and refreshing, especially when cooked briefly and it's great for salads, quick stir-fries, and dishes where you want a more delicate flavour and texture. It's also suitable for steaming or blanching and then served as a side dish with grilled meats or fish. It pairs well with strong flavours and especially complements Asian-inspired dishes with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chilli.
Top Tip! A drizzle of sesame oil enhances the nutty notes of pak choi.
Storage: Best stored in a fridge.
