Chinese leaf is an autumn–winter seasonal vegetable in the UK.
Native to China and Asia, Chinese leaf (also known as Chinese cabbage) has become popular in recent years in the UK, because it is easy to grow and adds fresh green leaves to the autumn - winter vegetable season.
It's a useful filler in Chinese food, such as spring rolls or stir fries. Its mild flavour means it works well in stews and soups, too.
For a quick lunch dish, chop a Chinese Cabbage and wash it. Dry well. Stir fry with a little sesame oil. Top with crushed sesame seeds and soy sauce, and serve with noodles. Delicious!
Store in the salad compartment of the fridge for a few days.
