Pac Choi-Joi Choi

100_3131
 Joi choi is a common and mild-tasting variety of pac choi with dark green leaves and a white stem. Pak choi is fat and cholesterol free, and a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate.
Joi Choi Soup
• 3 cups broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable)
• 10 leaves joi choi, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 garlic clove, peeled, chopped
Bring the broth to boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the red pepper flakes, soy sauce, Asian sesame oil, and chopped garlic.
Add the joi choi. Simmer for up to 10 minutes, until the joi choi leaves turn dark green and are wilted and tender.
Try this soup also with cooked chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu.

Joi Choi Stir Fry
Basic Stir-fry with Peanut Oil and Garlic
1 pound joi choi (or a mixture of different chois)
2 Tb peanut oil

Cut stems into 1-inch pieces and slice leaves coarsely.

Here is a great resource for 200 plus cabbage recipes. Here is my favorite (but I use ground turkey)
