Chinese Vegetables Choy Sum |
Choy Sum's crisp and succulent stems and small yellow flowered tips make it a classic vegetable in Chinese cuisine. Try it blanched and stir-fried with garlic & oyster sauce, or steamed and dipped in soy sauce. Using it in simple, easy dishes really brings out the delicate, subtle mustard flavour. |

Chinese Vegetables Gai Choy |

Chinese Vegetables Shanghai Bok Choi bag |
Crisp, succulent green stems, and deep jade-green leaves. Shanghai Bok Choy has a compact habit, growing to a height of 20cm. Usually harvested when young and tender, its mild and delicate flavour make it a favourite for steaming or stir frying. Baby leaves are delicious in salads. |
