Hon Tsai Tai
About
Hon tsai tai is a purple leafy version of choy sum, a mustardy Asian leafy green variety that is widely consumed in Eastern countries.
Storage Tips
Store in plastic bag or sealed container in refrigerator. The hon tsai tai should be consumed quickly after harvest for best quality, ideally within three days.
Culinary Tips
Best stir-fried with garlic and sesame oil and salt! Make sure to take care to not overcook hon tsai tai as the leaves are very tender.
Cook until the color is a bright, vivid green and the stalks can be pierced by a fork but still have a good crunch.
Fabulous is broth based soups and many other Chinese recipes.
