pak choi puree

A creamy puree with pak choi that goes perfectly with fried duck, chicken or fish.

🌿 About this dish

Paksoi puree is a surprisingly delicious variation on classic mashed potatoes.
The soft, creamy texture of the potatoes combines beautifully with the fresh, slightly spicy flavor of pak choi.
Ideal as a side dish to dishes with Asian notes, but also delicious with a piece of meat or fish.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

The preparation is very similar to regular mashed potatoes, but the secret is in cooking the pak choi separately.
By briefly stewing the white stems and allowing the leaves to shrink only briefly, you maintain a beautiful green color and fresh flavor.
Then everything combines with the potatoes, butter and milk to form a creamy, light puree.

🍽️ Serving Ideas

Delicious with fried duck with orange sauce.
Also goes great with chicken with oyster sauce, or a piece of fried salmon.
Finish with some lemon juice or chopped spring onion for extra freshness.
