Ingredients
Description
A simple and tangy way to preserve bok choy stems that would otherwise go unused. These quick fridge pickles are crunchy, refreshing, and slightly sweet — perfect as a side dish, taco topping, or to add a zing to rice bowls. Customizable with chili, ginger, garlic, and other aromatics depending on your taste. Keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge.
Instructions
- Wash bok choy stems and cut into sticks. Pack tightly into a clean jar.
- Dissolve sugar in the boiling water, then stir in vinegar and salt.
- Pour the brine over the bok choy to cover completely. Top up with extra vinegar and water if needed.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight before eating.
