What exactly is Pak Choi?
Today I'm taking another short detour into Asian cuisine.
Pak choi , also known as Chinese mustard greens or leafy cabbage, is an Asian vegetable with tender green leaves and crisp white stalks. Originally from Asia, it has found its way into German cuisine. Its slightly nutty flavor is reminiscent of Swiss chard. Pak choi can be stir-fried, grilled, steamed, blanched, or eaten raw. It adds an Asian touch to stir-fried vegetables and pairs well with coconut milk in curries. With only about 12 calories per 100 grams, pak choi is low in calories and rich in calcium and vitamins. It's definitely a great addition to many stir-fries.
Anyone looking for a quick, easy, yet delicious recipe will find it here. It requires relatively few ingredients and steps, but the result is both visually appealing and delicious. Furthermore, its lightness makes it perfect for hot days.
Another advantage of this recipe is its flexibility for different dietary needs, as the sauce is completely vegan and gluten-free. For those who prefer an animal-based component, the delicious halibut makes an excellent addition.
A recipe that the whole family will love. Try it yourself and you'll love it!
