Easy Light Pan Asian cooking with Pakchoi with Vegetables and Cashew

School or office lunches at home need to be light and healthy ...this recipe is very light and easy to prepare . I would always eat Pak Choi as a side dish when dining out to balance off the nutrition I would want out of an Asian meal...and its one of the most delicious sides ever!

An excellent source of Vitamin A , C , Manganese and zinc, it has a very subtle flavour and is commonly referred to as a Chinese cabbage.
