How to Grow Dwarf White Stem Pak Choi Cabbage

Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in the spring after the last frost. You can also plant in succession throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are in the 60s°F. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Mulch fall crops to avoid premature bolting.

Harvesting Pak Choi

This pak choi is fully harvestable at 40-45 days. Harvest when about 4” tall. It is ideal to harvest pak choi in the mornings before the heat of the sun removes moisture from the leaves. Cut the short root stem below the base and lift away the head of the cabbage.

Culinary Tips

Use in stir-fries, sauté, or braise. To prepare, rinse well and separate the stems before tearing leaf greens from ribs. Cut into thin slices. For stir fry, cut into 1/2" slices and saute with oil, vegetables, and/or the meat of your choice. Also delicious added into soups.
