Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage Leaves (Asian Essentials)

Quantity/Pack: 
Seasonality: Jan-Dec
Origin: USA

Two essentials in Asian cooking, Bok Choy (also known as Chinese Cabbage) and Napa Cabbage (also known as Celery Cabbage) are prized for their versatility and mild flavors. We've paired them here to make cooking easy. Melissa's Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage Leaves come in a 1-lb. bag of hand-selected leaves that are uniformly trimmed and separated for quick preparation.

Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage have long been foundational greens in Chinese cuisine. Napa Cabbage forms an oblong head of tightly packed, crinkled leaves ranging from pale green to white, while Bok Choy offers dark green leaves with a peppery bite. Melissa's offers this leafy duo pre-separated for convenience, ready to use in a range of dishes.

Raw Bok Choy Leaves carry a delicate, peppery spice while Napa Cabbage Leaves lean mild and sweet, reminiscent of a cross between cabbage, iceberg lettuce, and celery; once cooked, Bok Choy mellows into a subtle sweetness, while Napa retains its crispy, fibrous texture.

Tear or coarsely shred Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage Leaves for stir-fries, soups, and sautés, or braise, boil, or steam them whole as a simple side. Their quick-cooking nature makes them an easy addition to any weeknight meal.

Storage: Keep Melissa's Bok Choy and Napa Cabbage Leaves refrigerated, unwashed, in their plastic bag, away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas; use within 2-3 days for best quality, rinsing well before using.
