Stir Fried Chinese Greens
by Tarla Dalal
Pak Choi, popularly known as Chinese Cabbage, actually tastes not like cabbage but like greens! It has a crisper texture than our regular greens, and so it combines wonderfully with spinach and bean sprouts in this delicious Stir-Fried Chinese Greens recipe.
While Chinese white sauce gives it a creamy consistency, soy sauce lends a tangy tinge, giving the dish a very well-balanced and exciting flavour.
As in most greens based dishes, it is best to serve this immediately to enjoy the best texture and vibrant colour of the greens.
