Ocado Pak Choi

Ocado Pak Choi.

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. The main differences between pak choi and baby pak choi comes down to size and maturity at harvest.

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.

Mature pak choi has been allowed to grow to its full size and has larger, more mature leaves with a slightly more robust flavour, and longer, thicker stalks.

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.

A classic way to use pak choi is in a stir-fry as it cooks quickly and retains its crisp 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. You can also add to soups and stews for extra flavour and texture.
