What on earth can I do with Pak Choi? (at least I think that's what it is...)

[Twinklemegan]

I've also got what looks like an elongated white cabbage - is that chicory? (I'm new to this veg box thing).

Stirfry it. Whatever it is

Pak choi is greener - chicory is quite pale (google image search is a wonderful thing).

Riverford have lots of recipes for all sorts of veg.

I didn't know there was such a thing as pointed cabbage. It does LOOK like a cabbage but it didn't smell cabbagy when I (over) boiled it . I don't usually do stir frying - I tend to try to "make" things (overcomplicating as usual).

Just to clarify the ?pak choi and the ?chicory are two separate items. I didn't think of the image search (duh) - thanks TooTicky.

if you do id it as pak choi..... then you want to.......
chop some garlic / ginger / red chili and fry gently in light tasting oil....meanwhile cook your washed and sliced up leaves in boiling water v quickly (2 mins?).....stir generous amount of oyster sauce into the cooked garlic etc and add drained greens. serve on brown rice. v good!

OK, so the pointy thing is a pointed cabbage. Thanks KZ!

Ramen Soup

Chopped up veggies
Miso Soup base
Ramen Noodles
Pak Choi
Maybe some mushrooms/grilled chicken/prawns/whatever you fancy

Stir fry veggies and meat if you choose a meat, bring soup to boil, add noodles for a few moments, add Pak Choi for a few more moments, put in a bowl, top with hot veggies/meat.

Yes, definitely pak choi. Not sure I'm brave enough with the oyster sauce and ginger controlfreaky, but I'll bear it in mind. Thank you!

oh go on, give it a whirl.....

I'm glad I'm not the only vegetable ignoramous then . I grow loads of my own actually, or I used to, so I thought I was pretty good on IDing them but clearly not.
