Trying Bok Choy/Chinese Cabbage

[MintTeaMascara]

I had bok choy/pak choy for the first time a few months ago and instantly fell in love. It has quite a distinct, slightly mustardy flavour 🥬 (umhhh yum!)

I haven't ever tried to cook it before as I found it too intimidating - (how do you even cook that or what would I even put with it??). But Yum.

With not much else to do I went on the hunt for a recipe and came across this youtu.be/WdhRlZr4FoE(Not working as expected?)

It's incredibly easy to cook and delicious. I want to add this as a regular part of my diet - I think I'll try it as an alternative to celery sticks with houmous and maybe try it in a soup towards winter 🤷🏼‍♀️😊

I heard twice now just how under-rated this vegetable is but highly recommend it.

If you'd like to know a little bit more about bok choy, here's a links to different ways to cook bok choy and to the different health benefits of it.

Cheers for the that MTM

I always chuck it into my Thai chicken broth.

Can it be chucked into pretty much any type of curry or stir fry? I didn't think of that but that would make it much easier to incorporate. Thanks 😊

A lifetime ago, there used to be a Vietnamese man at he local market. All he sold were greens, but dozens of varieties. I used to buy a different one each week, and never knew what they were.

We'd just cook it like spinach or chard or cabbage. Eg added to a curry, steamed, stir fried in soy with garlic, ginger and chilli. It was always delicious and the variety was nice.

The teriyaki sauce was really nice as well, just too sweet with the sweet chilli sauce and the honey together.

Hi MintTeaMascara

I also like the mustardy taste of Bok Choy - it's really tasty. Thanks for reminding me of it, I must get some.
