I recently discovered this type of Chinese cabbage which, unfortunately, isn’t that easy to find where I live. I really like it because it has a sweet and delicate flavor. So, after cooking pak choi in the oven (I leave the link below), here’s pak choi in a pan, prepared my way, with simple and tempting ingredients. It turned out to be a very appetizing side dish that I enjoyed down to the last bite. In short, a recipe full of taste and simplicity. So grab a pan and let’s get cooking!

Ingredients for pak choi in a pan
- 2 pak choi (heads)
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 anchovy fillets in oil
- 2 tablespoons Taggiasca olives
- 1 tablespoon capers (salt-packed or pickled)
- extra virgin olive oil

Tools
- 1 Pan with lid
Preparation of pak choi in a pan
Wash the pak choi very well under running water, drain them, pat them dry with kitchen paper and cut them into quarters.
Peel the onion and chop it finely, then sauté it in a few tablespoons of oil.
Add the anchovy fillets and let them melt by crushing them with the back of a wooden spoon, then also add the Taggiasca olives and the capers. You can use either salt-packed or pickled capers; in any case rinse them first under running water.
Let the flavors meld for a moment, then put the pak choi into the pan.
Cook them covered over low heat until they are tender but still a bit crunchy.
When cooked, sprinkle with a generous grind of black pepper and adjust the salt to taste.
The pak choi in a pan are ready to be served. Excellent hot! Enjoy your meal everyone! Enjoy! Paola
