Pak Choi Culinary Uses.

- Harvest the young leaves on a cut-and-come-again basis to add colour to salads, or harvest the mature head to use in stir fries.
Growing Pak Choi
- It is easy to grow, but can be prone to bolting in hot weather so it’s a good idea to grow it in partial shade and keep it well watered.
- Scatter the Pak Choi seeds either directly into the prepared soil or in rows.
- After planting the seeds, barely cover them with soil.
- If you want to have earlier harvest, start the seeds indoor 6 weeks before the last frost and then transplant the seedlings.
- When seedlings are 5cm tall, plant them out into a moisture-retentive soil, firming in well. Water the newly transplanted plants and keep them well watered to prevent bolting.
- Keep plants cool when the weather warms; do not let Pak Choi sit in direct sun for more than 8 hours each day.
- You can harvest the young leaves after 30 days, to add to salads. From 45 days, the plants should have developed a ‘heart’ and be ready to harvest for stir fries.
