Bok Choi is also known as Pak Choi and its English translation is actually Chinese White Cabbage. It is also known in chinese as Pe ts'ai, hence the probable name pechay in local language. There are several kinds of bok choi and in the west markets have tended to call it Bok Choy, hence my use of the Chines word to describe it. At any rate, there are tons of different leafy cabbages some smaller than others, some greener than others and some with more crunchy portions than others. Pechay thrives in our climate and the most common one is the one I used in the tofu dish above. Hope that answers your questions... dj and Gel… here’s the scoop in more detail… Bok Choi is also known as Pak Choi and its English translation is actually Chinese White Cabbage.

It's simply deep fried (preferably the silken variety)tofu w/ whatever savoury sauce you like (not ketchup i hope). Sa bahay since i couldn't be bothered too much i simply combine kikkoman soy sauce, grated labanos and grated ginger. Either you dip the deep fried tofu in the sauce o kaya pour the mixture on the tofu. Very simple but tastes quite luxurious. Coat the tofu w/ a bit of cornstarch para mas sya when frying. I also like really fresh silken tofu w/ soy sauce. No cooking required. Parang taho lang sya but savoury instead of sweet. Add toasted sesame seeds, some chili flakes and spring onions Ok na.
