Pak Choi
Pak choi (also pok choi or bok choy) forms loose leaves that are similar in appearance and shape to Swiss chard. The vegetable is related to the cabbage but is a leaf vegetable. The light-coloured leaf veins taste slightly bitter.

Cultivation & harvest
The cabbage vegetable is grown in a sunny to semi-shady location in temperate areas. The soil should be particularly nutrient-rich, loose and calcareous for this.
Use
The combination of pak choi, onion, garlic and ginger finished with a little vegetable stock makes a wonderful stir-fry. Simply cut off the ends of the roots, wash them and cut into halves or quarters.
Storage
Pak choi is best stored in the fridge. Preferably wrapped in a damp towel.
