Steamed Pak Choi w/ Asian Spices

Pak Choi is a traditional Asian ingredient. The tender dark leafy green and crispy white stalk comes from the cabbage family and is great as a side dish when serving an Asian style meal. It’s also highly nutritious, packed with fiber and vitamins. I personally can enjoy this vegetable on its own with a bowl of rice – it’s that good! Hope I can persuade you too ;-)

Don't skip making the garlic oil & chips!

Give this dark leafy green a try and be wowed by the simplicity of this dish!

Serve the Steamed Pak Choi w/ Asian Spices with red meat, chicken, rice or noodles.
