Since about a year ago, I have never been without some Pak Choi in the fridge. I did grow some once in France, but since then I'd almost forgotten about it.
It's a very versatile vegetable, that cooks quickly, and tastes wonderful. When in doubt, grab some Pak Choi.
I had some last night. In just one large pan I fried some sausages, Mushrooms, and Pak Choi, to make a really simple and delicious meal. The whole dish cooked in less than 10 mins, and there was just one frying pan to clean.
The Pak Choi was almost the best bit. It was well cooked at the leafy end, but still with a little bit of bite at the root end. Just perfect.
I can't think of a single thing that Bok Choi doesn't enhance. Steak, Pork chops, Lamb, and even Fish, it's the prefect accompaniment to just about everything. I also pop it into noodle soup, Chinese style.
Verdict. 10/10

I couldn’t agree more.. I love my Chinese vegetables. Anne
It's a wonderful vegetable; so versatile.
I don't think I've ever seen it here. Our supermarkets tend to sell mostly home-growm veggies and fruit.
It grows well almost everywhere. Ask your local greengrocer!
I have never tried it. Perhaps I'll look out for some.
You should. It's more culinary ammunition under one's belt.
I often use it in stirfrys. The stalk stays nice and crunchy as the leaves wilt with the heat. Yes, like you, I am pretty fond of pak choi which is sometimes called Chinese celery cabbage.
I've become a little 'obsessed' with it. Such a useful veg', one can do so much with it; which you can't say about many vegs.
I've heard about it but never seen it in our shops. I'll have to find some seed
It's a great many years since we have had a greengrocer here! We just have supermarkets.
It is wonderful stuff. have you tried Napa cabbage
It grows very easily, and quickly.
Yes, I used to eat it a lot, but not so much these days.

Very good lightly salted with some crumbled black pudding or bacon
Sounds perfect!
I'm not sure about that, but it cured my hunger.
It’s not a favourite of mine …… I keep trying but I’m not fussed ! XXXX
I often grow it in winter.
I've never cooked Bok Choi.
Your meal looks tasty.
I'm surprised. I had some again last night with some Lamb chops, and it was delicious.
I remember you saying how successful it was.
One too many sausages, but otherwise delicious.
