Method

  1. Cut a thick slice from the pak choi root to separate the leaves. Rinse and drain.
  2. 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).
  3. Add the rest of the sesame oil and salt. Toss the leaves and serve immediately.

    This was very popular, although a little oily for my taste - but thats probably just me, so easy however, i will be doing it again.

    This is a super dish and goes very well with Spiced Thai Crap Cakes and a mixed fried rice

    Lovely flavour. I had mushrooms that I needed to use up, so I threw them in with the pak choi. They absorbed the flavours and were so delicious. Will definitely make again!
