    Chinese Garlic Yu Choy

    Chinese Garlic Yu Choy. A delicious, garlicky vegetable side dish that is versatile for any meal! It comes together quickly in 10 minutes! This recipe is vegan.

    This is one of my favourite ways to have vegetables especially when I am craving Yu Choy. It is a tasty leafy green that is usually sold at Chinese grocers.

    It's not commonly used compared to Bok Choy or Gai-lan but it's delicious! This vegetable has subtle flavour to it. It's not bitter or sweet but just right! I love that it has a stalk and a leaf at the top for a variety of fibrous textures.

    This yu choy with garlic works so well combined with noodles especially but here I am featuring as a side dish.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following ingredients for my yu choy recipe:

    1 tablespoon avocado oil
    1 teaspoon garlic
    4 cups yu choy unpacked
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 tablespoon dry sherry wine
    ½ tablespoon sesame oil

    How to make Yu Choy

    1. In a hot pan over medium heat, add oil and garlic. Fry until fragrant.
    2. Quickly add yu choy and mix it with the garlic and oil.
    3. Then add soy sauce, dry sherry wine and cover with a lid. Cook for 2 minutes.
    4. Remove the lid and season with sesame oil. Enjoy!

    Where can I buy Yu Choy?

    You can purchase it at most Chinese or Asian grocers. It is a leafy green with a stalk. It looks like Gai-Lan but the stalk is less thick and the leafy is smaller.

      I’ve never made yu choy before. It was in my CSA box, so I searched for recipes and found this one. Even my husband liked it, and he is picky about greens. I’ll look for yu choy and make it again. I served it over rice with air fryer tofu.

      We love the Korean market we found years ago near us. Yu choy is one of our favorites and this recipe is a simple starting point. You can do so much with Asian vegetables.
