Pak Choi Recipe – Rice Pan with a light Homemade Peanutsauce

Pak Choi Recipe -Rice Pan with a light homemade peanut sauce- So sad – we had to leave our garden and the babies behind! the beetroot was almost finished and the turnip started developing the first ambassadors. Luckily Fiona is staying for a few days longer and takes care of the babies. Ohje ohje if someone would have told us just 1 year ago that we would talk like that about a little garden with a few tryouts of planting our own vegetables- we would have laughed. But it’s almost like having children! 😀  you watch them grow, they get some weird kind of flues and you say that they are beautiful just the way they are, although they might not look perfect 😀

Another thing about gardening is that you are waiting and waiting for everything to grow and when the time is there you are facing an abundance of one and the same vegetable which you have to cook and eat!

That especially happened with our Pakchoi and Mangold. Look forward to the recipe of the Mangold – coming within the next days!

So what did we do? we chopped the pak choi and froze it – which is the coolest thing ever – you preserve all the vitamins, taste and minerals and don’t get sick by trying to eat all the vegetables fresh before they are moldy!

We also had to find out what to do with pak choi 😀 We decided to put it into one of our basic dishes which is a rice pan with sauce. Moritz is working on creating the perfect peanut sauce for weeks now and I was pretty impressed by this version of the Pak-choi rice pan with a light self-made peanut sauce J
