Asian greens

Daisyduckworth
19 years ago

I'm new to Asian cookery, hence also new to Asian vegetables, but would like to know more. The only one I have growing at present is Kangkong.

First question: What is the difference between Bok Choy and Pak Choy? Or are they the same? (I've had conflicting information in my web searches.)

Second question: What are the names (including botanical names if you know them) of some other Asian greens? Indeed, any Asian vegetable. Any information on how to grow and use them would be welcome. Even recipes would be appreciated.

Thanks.
