How to Grow Taisai Cabbage

Prepare fertile, well-draining soil. Sow seeds in the spring after the last frost to early summer, or late summer/early fall. Keep the soil moist and fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are in the 60s°F. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50°F may result in bolting. Mulch fall crops to avoid premature bolting.

Harvesting Pak Choi

This pak choi is fully harvestable at 50 days, but it can also be harvested at 30-35 days for more tender leaves. It is ideal to harvest pak choi in the mornings before the heat of the sun removes moisture from the leaves. Cut the short root stem below the base and lift away the head of the cabbage.

Pak Choi can also be harvested to cut-and-come-again by cutting only the outer leaves 2" from the base. New leaves will grow, and you can continue harvesting 1/3 of the cabbage at a time

Culinary Tips

Use in stir-fries, sauté, or braise. To prepare, rinse well and separate the stems before tearing leaf greens from ribs. Cut into thin slices. If it is tender enough, harvest at 30-35 days to add to a fresh salad for an Asian flair. For stir fry, cut into 1/2" slices and saute with oil, vegetables, and/or the meat of your choice. Used in ohitashi, yosenabe, stir-fries, and soups.
