The best way to cook crisp, pert pak choi is very briefly, as with this recipe. Steamed then stir-fried with chilli, garlic and ginger, this pairs well with simple poached or pan-fried chicken and some steamed or boiled rice. Team it with stir-fried mushrooms or tofu if you're a vegetarian. You would also add a little finely shredded lemongrass to the garlic, ginger and chilli.
