How to freeze and store pak choi

Procedure for freezing

Wash the pak choi under running water and place it in a bowl of water and soak the roots in the water. Leave it to soak for about 5 minutes, which will allow the pak choi to absorb the water from the roots and crisp up the leaves.


Wipe dry with paper towels and separate the roots from the leaves. The roots have a particularly strong aroma and can be used in soup stock or chopped and added to other dishes. It is recommended to utilize them instead of discarding them.


Place the chopped leaves and stems in a large freezer-safe storage bag and seal the bag while pushing out the air.


Put directly into the freezer. (Consume as soon as possible.) Roots can be stored for up to 2 weeks. It is recommended to wrap each root individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight freezer bag. They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.


When using, please rub and loosen them from the outside of the bag and take out only the portion you need. Since the leaves become wilted after freezing, it is recommended to add them to food and heat them when eating.
