How to cook pak choi

Pak choi, also known as bok choy or Chinese cabbage, can be cooked in a variety of ways. Here are a few popular methods:

1. Stir-fry: Pak choi can be sliced and added to a stir-fry with meat, seafood, or tofu and other vegetables. It cooks quickly and should be added near the end of the cooking process to retain its texture and crispness.

2. Steaming: Pak choi can be steamed and served as a side dish with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper, or with a sauce. To steam, place the pak choi in a steaming basket or on a plate over a pot of simmering water and cover. Steam for 2-3 minutes or until the pak choi is tender.

3. Braising: Pak choi can be braised with meat and other vegetables in a flavorful broth. To braise, place the pak choi in a pot with a small amount of liquid, such as broth or water, and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the pak choi is tender.

4. Boiling: Pak choi can be boiled in salted water for 2-3 minutes or until tender.

5. Raw: Pak choi can be enjoyed raw in salads and sandwiches, just washed, dried and sliced.

6. Grilled: Pak choi can be grilled with a little oil and seasoning for a smoky flavor.

7. Roasted: Pak choi can be roasted in the oven, with a little oil and seasoning for a crispy texture.
