🛍 Product Information :
Mandarin speakers are preferably used for Napa cabbage[4]); the other is green bok choy (Chinese: 青白菜; lit. 'green white vegetable'; Chinese: 青菜; lit. 'green vegetable'; Chinese: 上海青; lit. 'Shanghai green'; Chinese: 青梗菜; lit. 'green-stalk vegetable'; Chinese: 小唐菜; lit. 'small Chinese vegetable') which is more common in East China. They are collectively called 小白菜 xiǎo bái cài ("small white vegetable") in Mandarin.
🥘 Recipe:
Cooking
Bok choi cooks in 2 to 3 minutes by steaming, stir-frying, or simmering in water (8 minutes if steamed whole). The leaves cook faster than the stem. It is often used in similar ways to other leafy vegetables such as spinach and cabbage. It can also be eaten raw. It is commonly used in salads.
🔅Notes:
Accredited vegetables are vegetables produced under the Reputation Farm program. In 1994 the Department of Fisheries, Agriculture and Nature Conservation and the Department of Vegetable Operations jointly implemented the Reputation Farm Program to encourage farmers to use pesticides correctly and safely and to farm with excellent, environmentally friendly methods.
One method of testing is that the farmer will not use pesticides for a period of time before the expected harvest of vegetables, which is the vegetable safe harvest period, following safety standards and reducing pesticide residues. Of course, we must rinse the vegetables thoroughly with clean water before eating, so you can eat more safely and assuredly!
