About the Recipe

I absolutely love pak choi as a staple to east-Asian dishes, and sometimes it deserves a spotlight feature. This dish does exactly that, and brings out the best of the green goodness of this wonder Chinese cabbage. 

- Sunni Patel, PhD


As part of the cruciferous family, pak choi is high in calcium, potassium, folate, Vits A, B3, B6, C, E and K as well as beta-carotene.


It also provides much needed fibre – essential for supporting gut health and digestive function.
