Pa Phye

Pa Phye, also known as Pa Bo Chye, is an oblong leafy vegetable with crinkled pale green leaves and thick white stems. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture when cooked, making it perfect for stir-fries, soups, hot pots, and pickling (like in kimchi). Common in Chinese and East Asian cuisine, it softens beautifully while absorbing surrounding flavors. Nutritious and versatile, pa bo chye is rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and folate, making it a comforting and wholesome staple in many Asian households.
