Hello there, i was trying to figure out what "Cai Xin" was, i went to wikipedia and figured it out,it is something we use in the Philippines also, called "kang kong" something like a water spinach, so i guess we can also use spinach here if we can't get a hold of some Cai Xin, sounds like a keeper this soup, easy and full of flavor.


Cai Xin is not Kang Kong aka water spinach. It looks slightly like Kai-Lan. I'll get a photo and post it here.

You can use kang kong if you like put I prefer cai xin or at least this is what has been used. ;)

Please come back to have a look.


All of your recipes are so beautiful! This looks particularly tasty!


Thnk you for your compliements!


Ah ha now i remember where i heard that word before, teochew is from the chinnese restaurant in indonesia they called is teochew restaurant, no wonder your cooking feel like home to me. chinese food in here is no compare,


Cai xin i called it cai sim, in here they called it cai sum , they have it at meijer, but i thing turnip green could be a good substitute as they taste the same too me


Haha ... that's why I'm a home cooking foodie ;)

Oh! I just remembered the English name for Cai Xin. It's Flowering Cabbage. ;)


Your soup sounds great. where would i purchase cai xin? can they help me find it at an oriental store? i must try this one. JO


Hi in California cai xin is know by the vietnamese name CHOY SUM. WHOLE FOOD market (is a natural food american market) always have it, so is KAI LAN- I do not know the Inglish or chinese name.


Sounds easy and delicious!
