Gai Lan, or Chinese Broccoli, is a popular leafy vegetable featuring thick, tender stems and glossy, blue-green leaves with small flower heads. It has a slightly bitter yet sweet flavor profile, more robust than regular broccoli. A staple in Cantonese cuisine, it is typically prepared by blanching or steaming and served with a drizzle of oyster sauce. We harvest it young to ensure the stems are tender and succulent.
