EN: pechay; Chinese cabbage
The default vegetable of the Philippines. If a dish needs some green in it, chances are, it's petsay. It's the hardworking, underpaid employee of the vegetable world—always there, reliable, and doesn't ask for much. Perfect for bulalo, nilaga, or stir-fry when you're on a budget before payday.
Mula sa Hokkien na "pe̍h-chhài" (白菜), na nangangahulugang "puting gulay."
