Tatsoi can be stored in your refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Store the heads, unwashed, in bags. Don’t wash the leaves until you are ready to use them. If you try to wash them and then store them in plastic bags, the leaves will rot.

Tatsoi is a very versatile green and may used similarly to spinach, raw, steamed, sauteed, braised or stir fried. It makes an excellent accompaniment to other salad greens such as spinach, arugula, watercress, pea tendrils and mizuna. Its tangy and peppery notes pair well with citrus, crisp cool ingredients such as apple, fennel and mint, warm flavors that are abundantly found in chilies, garlic and allspice. Pair tatsoi with ingredients rich in umami such as scallops, mushrooms, seaweed, sesame and braised meats. Fermented ingredients such as fish sauce, soy sauce and vinegars are also complimentary matches.

Tatsoi is a good source of vitamins A, C and K, carotenoids, folate, calcium and potassium.
