Cold Sesame Pak Choi Recipes

SESAME PAK CHOI

Steps:

• Cut a thick slice from the pak choi root to separate the leaves. Rinse and drain.
• Heat the groundnut oil in a large wok over a medium heat and add 1 tbsp sesame oil, the garlic, chilli, fish sauce (if using) and pak choi. Toss until coated and clamp a pan lid over them. Reduce the heat and cook for 3-6 minutes, tossing occasionally, just until the leaves have wilted (the stalks should be tender-crisp).
• Add the rest of the sesame oil and salt. Toss the leaves and serve immediately.

COLD SESAME PAK CHOI

Steps:

• Steam or boil pak choi to desired doneness (we like ours to still be a bit firm).
• Drain choi in a colander and use a wooden spoon to push the choi against the sides of the colander and squeeze out as much water as possible.
• Once choi is as dry as possible, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and green onions in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add choi and toss to coat.
• Allow to chill in the fridge for one hour.
• Just before serving, add the sesame oil and sesame seeds and toss to coat. Enjoy!
