Simple stir fried pak choi with an Asian dressing is a savoury side dish that accompanies any main dish perfectly or works equally well with a bowl of steamed rice.

This simple dish is one I love to eat so it’s cooked in my house regularly. I spent a lot of time living and working in China many years ago, therefore I cook a lot of Asian inspired food.

However pak choi is not to everyone’s taste! Indeed my own family is divided right down the middle on this particular dish. I and my youngest would put it as one of our favourite vegetable sides. The same cannot be said of my husband and eldest who simply don’t get why we love this dish! That’s ok though, as we can’t like everything all of the time, can we now?

What I love most is that I can prepare this stir fried pak choi and have this dish on the table, ready to eat, in 10 minutes flat. Now what’s not to love about a dish like that? If you are not keen on chilli, either cut back and only add half or remove it altogether. This quick side dish is great alongside any Chinese style main course.

Another great recipe for a Chinese side dish is our Stir-fried Broccoli with Garlic. Both these recipes work well with our Easy Vegetable Stir Fry, Beef Stir-fry with Black Bean Sauce, our Pork & Peanut Stirfry or our Stir-fried Chicken & Cashew Nuts and our Easy Egg Fried Rice.

    This is one of my favourite veggies. I normally just slice it into a stirfry, but I’m definitely going to try it this way now.

      Veronica, me too, my youngest daughter and I love this side, easily one of our favourite veggies. I make this any time I’m cooking stirfry. Lesley

    I love this! I make something very similar at home. My hubby loves it – my kids are less keen! Eb x

      Hi Eb, it’s a split in my house too. It’s a firm favourite with me and bizarrely enough my youngest who’s really fussy. However my husband and eldest daughter just don’t get it. I could eat this dish daily! Lesley x
