How to Cook Tatsoi
Looking to try a new vegetable this summer? I just learned how to cook tatsoi. This summer we spotted tatsoi at our local market. My girls were interested in it and I want to encourage them to try new things. I took their lead. Always up for a food challenge--by that I mean trying something new, I bought a few bunches to bring home and I figured out how to cook tatsoi.

How to Cook Tatsoi
I was stumped about the leafy green and did some research (thank goodness for the Internets!). Turns out this sweet vegetable is related to Bok Choy which I already know and love. It's crisp, sweet and quick to cook. Once I found that out, I decided to make an Asian stir-fry. Now it is a regular side dish on our table.
Easy Tatsoi Stir Fry Recipe
- 1 bunch tatsoi cleaned and trimmed of stalks at the bottom (the leafs can hold dirt like a leek or bok choy so be sure to give them a thorough rinse)
- 1 clove crushed garlic
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- 2 tsp grated ginger
Tatsoi Stir Fry Recipe Directions
- Boil a large pot of water. When water is at a rapid boil, add cleaned tatsoi greens.
- Remove them quickly so the greens don't get soggy and overcooked. I like my veggies nice and crisp.
- Blanch (drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process) and set aside.
- Heat oil, add garlic and stir for about 1 minute.
- Add ginger, stir 30 seconds.
- Add greens, stir for a few more minutes.
- Add soy sauce--I recommend going light on this, too much salt can wreck the flavor. Remove from heat.

This is an excellent pairing with salmon or another fatty, meaty fish (you know I have found ways to get my girls to enjoy fish). Enjoy and let me know if you try this vegetable.
NOTE: we keep our ginger in the freezer to keep it fresh. It's also easier to grate when it is frozen.
