Chinese cabbage

502040

A staple vegetable in Asian cuisine and modern restaurants, prized for its crunchy texture and ability to absorb flavours. Product description: Chinese cabbage, also known as Pe-tsaï, is distinguished by its elongated shape, tender pale green leaves and fleshy white ribs. Delas has selected this variety for its much milder and more subtle flavour than that of traditional European cabbages, thus avoiding any excessive bitterness. Each head weighs approximately 1.2 kg, offering a generous volume for preparing garnishes or bases for dishes. Available at the Atelier Fruits & Légumes, this vegetable is an essential source of freshness for chefs working with crunchy textures and umami flavours. Professional uses, preparation and storage: Its versatility makes it a versatile ingredient suitable for numerous preparations: ► Woks and stir-fries: Its water content and structure allow for very rapid cooking. The ribs provide crunch, whilst the leaves soften instantly, perfectly absorbing soy or oyster-based sauces. ► Fermentations and Pickles: It is the main ingredient in Korean kimchi. Its texture lends itself ideally to long marinades and lacto-fermentation, remaining firm under the action of salt and spices. ► Soups and Broths: Sliced into wide strips, it is added at the last minute to ramen-style broths, seafood pot-au-feu or Chinese fondues for a light, vegetable touch. ► Crisp Salads: Used raw and finely chopped, it makes an original salad base, more tender than white cabbage, pairing wonderfully with ginger and coriander. ► Preparation: Wash thoroughly between the leaves. The stalks, which are denser, can be added to the pan a few moments before the leaves to ensure they cook evenly. ► Storage: Store in the fridge at between +2°C and +4°C in its original packaging or wrapped in cling film to prevent the leaves from wilting.
