Ginger
Ginger is not an uncommon ingredient, especially if you cook Asian food. It’s amazingly aromatic and commonly found in grocery stores both fresh and ground. The root is not only used in food but has long been thought to have medicinal properties and may be considered a superfood due to its gingerol content which is anti-inflammatory and antioxidants compounds.

As for the flavour of ginger, it’s spicy and pairs well with sweet, warm spices such as cardamom, turmeric, and cinnamon. It can also be used on its own in drinks like ginger tea or ginger ale. From savory dishes to dessert to medicine, ginger can really do it all.

Green Papaya
Green papaya is simply an unripe papaya. Unlike the ripened version, it’s much less sweet and juicy. It’s often found shredded in papaya salads or pickled, taking on a much more savory flavor than the fruity essence you might typically associate with papaya.

Daikon Radish
Daikon radish is a winter root vegetable and a mild-tasting radish. It’s less spicy than the red radish you might know. It’s also much larger, tending to be a longer veggie. If you see them at the store, you might be impressed by their size! It’s almost like a white carrot. Daikon is most well-known because it’s a prominent ingredient in traditional kimchi from Korea.

It can be had both raw and cooked. It makes for a nice crunchy garnish or even a snack for dipping into hummus or guacamole. You can also top off your favourite soups and salads with it for a flavorful crunch. Lastly, it’s a good source of vitamin C.

Kabocha Pumpkin
Kabocha squash or Japanese pumpkin is very similar to butternut squash or traditional pumpkin. Its outer appearance is quite different, however, boasting green and orange skin. Inside, the flesh is orange and slightly sweet like a pumpkin. It is notably more starchy and less creamy while having sweeter notes akin to sweet potato. The skin is also edible.

In Japanese cuisine, it is often used in tempura or deep-fried. In Korea, you may find it in porridge. In Thailand, you may get some in your dessert. It’s easy to use and versatile. You can make soups by blending it or cube and roast it for a tasty side with other veggies.

Chinese Spinach / Water Spinach / Ong Choy
This is a very common green used all across Asia in countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. It is prepared in countless ways from the Penang dish with cuttlefish to being served raw in Thai papaya salads. Commonly, it is stir-fried with ingredients such as garlic, chiles, and ginger. It is even used medicinally in various ways across Asia.

When buying Chinese spinach, you might be impressed by its length. It can be up to a foot and a half long, so look out for long stalks when you’re perusing the produce. The entirety of the plant is edible. You can use Chinese spinach in any stir-fried greens dish.

Fun fact: in the United States, Chinese celery is considered a noxious w**d in some areas (e.g. Florida and other parts of the southeast). You may be able to forage it in the wild and even do a good deed for the environment at the same time.

Chinese Celery / Nan Ling Celery / Leaf Celery
The distinct feature that sets this celery apart from the celery you are likely familiar with is the thinner, curved, and hollow stalks. When cooking, the leaves of these stalks are also used, while you may be more accustomed to tossing the leaves.

This celery is also significantly smaller than western celery. It is a good source of vitamins A, K, and C. It’s also high in folic acid and niacin. Like western celery, it is also low in calories. In China, it is considered a digestion aid.

Unlike western celery, Chinese celery is seldom served raw. Most commonly, you will find it stir-fried. It may also be used as a herb, deepening and strengthening flavor in dishes that are stewed, braised, or boiled.

Chinese Cabbage / Lombok / Napa Cabbage
Napa cabbage is high in folic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin B, vitamin K, and antioxidants. It’s also low in calories and high in fibre. Napa cabbage is versatile; it’s great for stir-fries or stews meaning it can be cooked a little or a lot. You can also use it raw in a salad.

It’s slightly sweet in flavour and will soak up the taste of whatever ingredients are used to prepare it. It’s popular in many types of Asian cuisine such as Chinese and Korean dishes e.g. hot pot and kimchi. You can also swap out regular green cabbage with napa cabbage in many recipes such as soups, stuffed cabbage rolls, and more.
