Baby Pak Choi, sometimes also called “Baby Bok Choy,” refers to a smaller, more delicate version of the standard Pak Choi. It’s harvested when the plants are still young, typically around 4 to 6 inches tall, and the leaves and stems are tender and sweet.
Baby Pak Choi has all the same characteristics as regular Pak Choi but in a more petite form. It has dark green leaves and crisp, pale green stems. The flavor is mild and slightly sweet, with a hint of peppery notes.
Like its larger counterpart, Baby Pak Choi is highly nutritious, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals and antioxidants. It’s low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a healthy addition to salads, stir-fries, soups, and other dishes.
Because of its smaller size and tender texture, Baby Pak Choi cooks quickly and is ideal for stir-frying, steaming, or adding raw to salads. It’s also popular in Asian cuisine but is increasingly used in Western cooking as well, prized for its delicate flavor and versatility.
