pak choi
Asian leafy green
Pak choi is an Asian vegetable with thick white stalks and dark green leaves, widely used in stir-fries and soups.
The leaves are tender and mild, the stalks crisp and juicy.
Also spelled bok choy, bok choi, or pak choy—all anglicizations of the Cantonese for "white vegetable." Add the pak choi in the last minute of cooking.
