I saw the picture and recognized it right away. The simplest way of cooking this was stir fried with a small amount of oil, some salt, and chopped garlic. Even I can't screw that up too much.

We love it stir-fried in a spicy chilly-shrimp paste sauce - one of my faves!

Whenever I ask my mom what she's cooking, she tells me they're "Chinese vegetables." Maybe you could do a little tutorial on the ones you know? I love that you know so many unusual greens.

They're great! Iang: Thanks! I guess I was just in a descriptive mood, since I have little history with the vegetable.
