Usage: The following are recommended ways how to integrate Siew Pak Choy into your cooking. Firstly, like all raw ingredients, rinse the bok choy properly off any dirt. Then, cutting the vegetables may vary depending on the recipe that you are trying to integrate the Chinese celery cabbage into.
Firstly, a recipe where Siew Pak Choy is a key ingredient is stir-fried siew pak choy. Simply prepare the veggie along with some sliced garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan and stir-fry the siew pak choy until it is wilted. Season the simple dish with some salt and pepper and the siew pak choy is ready to be eaten. Some tofu, sliced chicken, or minced beef would also fit perfectly with the plant. The sauteed bok choy is suitable to be served as a side dish to a plate of rice.
Second, to include the Chinese celery cabbage is by making steamed siew pak choy with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Noodles can be served alongside the steamed siew pak choy as a complimentary dish. By cutting the bok choi into large pieces, steam the celery well until it is blanched before drizzling it in oyster sauce and soy sauce. As simple as that with some salt and pepper seasonings, the oyster sauce choy is an amazing addition to your Chinese-style menu.
Other styles of dishes that you may include siew pak choy into include your salad bowls, Japanese ramen, Korean kimchi, vegetable soup, and many more.

Siew Pak Choy Overview
Siew Pak Choy is a type of green leaf cabbage that originates from China and is a common ingredient in Chinese cuisine recipes. Compared to its relatives that are popular in Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc. like the kai choy, it is more crucial in countries such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam for its milder taste, tenderness, cultural significance as well as nutrient profile. Many dishes of these cultures have combined the bok choy in a variety of dishes such as the popular kimchi, ramyun, ramen, and wonton noodles.
Not only does the siew pak choy’s appeal is its unique texture and flavor compared to its other cabbage and celery associates, but it is also a good option for those looking to add valuable nutrients to their diets without having to start with boring and strong-tasting vegetables. Chinese cabbage celery is rich in vitamins C and A, calcium, potassium, fiber, and iron, which can help in strengthening immune systems, improve skin health, and improve digestion among many others.
