Eastern Delight
$20 / 8oz delivery
East Asian brassicas balanced with sweet peas. The blend that turns a $3 ramen into a restaurant dish.
Why East Asian Cooking Demands This Blend 🥢
Walk into any serious ramen shop, izakaya, or banh mi counter and you'll notice one thing on every plate, fresh greens at the very end. Not as filler. As the finishing note that wakes the dish up.
Eastern Delight is engineered for that finish. Four East Asian brassicas, pak choi, mizuna, tatsoi, and mustard, bring the savory, slightly peppery edge that holds up to soy, miso, and sesame. Sweet pea shoots round it out so it doesn't go bitter.
Most home cooks have never tasted these varieties as microgreens. That's the unfair advantage on your plate.
"What would your weeknight ramen taste like if you finished it with the same microgreens a Tokyo chef would?" 🤔
What's In The Blend 🥢
Crisp, mild, the foundational Chinese-cooking green at microgreen scale.
Feathery Japanese mustard green, gentle peppery edge.
Spoon-shaped leaf, mild, almost spinach-like sweetness.
Clean horseradish heat that cuts soy, miso, and rich broths.
Naturally sweet, crunchy. Balances the brassicas so the blend never goes bitter.
Five-variety blend. Exact ratios rotate slightly week to week based on what's at peak in the trays.
What Each Variety Brings To The Bowl 🌱
Five varieties, five different roles. The four brassicas overlap on the savory edge, the sweet pea balances them. Here is what each one is doing for your plate and your body.
Pak Choi
The foundational green of Chinese cooking. Pak choi (also spelled bok choy) microgreens are mild, crisp, and slightly sweet, the smaller cousin of the head-of-cabbage version that holds the bowl together flavor-wise.
Nutrition highlights:
- Vitamins A, C, K
- Calcium (notably high for a leafy green)
- Glucosinolates (Brassica family)
- Folate (B9)
- Trace minerals including potassium
Mizuna
A Japanese mustard green with feathery leaves and a gentle peppery edge. Often called the "salad-bowl mustard" because the peppery note is restrained enough for everyday use, distinct enough to feel intentional.
Nutrition highlights:
- Vitamin C, antioxidant and immune support
- Vitamin K and folate
- Calcium and iron in modest amounts
- Carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene)
- Glucosinolates (Brassica family)
Tatsoi
Spoon-shaped leaves with a mild, almost spinach-like flavor. Tatsoi is the gentlest brassica in the blend, so it lets the mustard and pak choi take the front while still adding texture and nutrient density.
Nutrition highlights:
- Vitamin A at notably high levels
- Vitamin C and vitamin K
- Calcium, iron, and magnesium
- Folate (B9)
- Antioxidant phytonutrients
Mustard
The heat that cuts through soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, and rich broth. Mustard microgreens give a clean horseradish-style bite that builds for a second then fades, so it never overpowers the other four varieties.
Nutrition highlights:
- Glucosinolates including sinigrin (Brassica family)
- Vitamin K, supports blood clotting and bones
- Vitamin A and C
- Calcium and iron in trace amounts
- Selenium for thyroid and immune support
Sweet Pea Shoots
The naturally sweet variety, roughly 20% protein by dry weight, that does the work of balancing the four brassicas. Sweet pea shoots bring crunch and green sweetness so the blend never tips into bitterness.
Nutrition highlights:
- About 20% protein by dry weight
- Vitamin K, supports blood clotting and bones
- Folate (B9) and vitamin C
- Carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin) for eye health
- Plant fiber
Five Varieties, One Restaurant-Grade Finish
Four East Asian brassicas layered on top of each other, each contributing a different edge of the peppery-savory profile, and one sweet pea variety that keeps the whole bowl from going bitter. The garnish that turns a $3 instant ramen into something that reads as intentional.

Will the microgreens wilt under hot broth?
They wilt slightly, which is exactly what you want for ramen and pho. They do not collapse to mush the way iceberg does. Add them at the table just before serving so they hold shape for the first few bites.

What is the difference between mizuna and tatsoi?
Both are East Asian brassicas. Mizuna is feathery with a mild peppery note (often called Japanese mustard greens). Tatsoi is spoon-shaped with a milder, almost spinach-like flavor. Together they layer two different textures and bite levels into one blend.
How is Eastern Delight different from Burger Blend?

Eastern Delight is five varieties built for East Asian dishes (pak choi, mizuna, tatsoi, mustard, sweet peas) and is engineered to finish bowls and sandwiches with peppery edge rather than crunch.
