Bokchoi, 1kg

Fresh Bok Choi 1kg is 1kg of fresh bok choi — the mild, tender Chinese cabbage with crisp white stalks and tender green leaves. Bok choi is one of the most versatile Asian vegetables. As a result, it suits stir-frying, steaming, braising and serving raw in salads. Furthermore, it cooks very quickly and retains a satisfying crunch when properly handled. In particular, add the stalks first and the leaves in the final minute for the best result.

About Fresh Bok Choi 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Fresh Bok Choi 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Bok Choi 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Fresh Bok Choi 1kg

To get the very best from Fresh Bok Choi 1kg:

• Halve lengthways and steam for 3 to 4 minutes for the simplest and most elegant preparation.
• Stir-fry over a very high heat with garlic, ginger and oyster sauce for 2 to 3 minutes — the stalks should retain a little crunch.
• Furthermore, fresh bok choi makes an outstanding base for a noodle broth or ramen alongside mushrooms and soft-boiled egg.
• Additionally, braise whole in a rich master stock or soy-based braising liquid for a more intense, savoury result.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Bok Choi 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Oyster sauce, garlic and sesame oil — the classic Chinese pairing
• Ginger, chilli, soy and a splash of Shaoxing rice wine
• A cold Japanese lager, sake or a very dry Riesling alongside
• Tofu, prawns, pork belly or grilled salmon as the main course partner

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Fresh Bok Choi 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
