Description

A simple and tangy way to preserve bok choy stems that would otherwise go unused. These quick fridge pickles are crunchy, refreshing, and slightly sweet — perfect as a side dish, taco topping, or to add a zing to rice bowls. Customizable with chili, ginger, garlic, and other aromatics depending on your taste. Keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge.

Instructions

  1. Wash bok choy stems and cut into sticks. Pack tightly into a clean jar.
  2. Dissolve sugar in the boiling water, then stir in vinegar and salt.
  3. Pour the brine over the bok choy to cover completely. Top up with extra vinegar and water if needed.
  4. Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight before eating.
