    ... is probably my favourite Chinese green vegetable of all (the greens
    of regular canola grown for its oil seeds are not as tasty as the Chinese variety grown for its greens. I know as I have stolen some from "Global").

    There are also at least six kinds of mustards that get used as vegetables in Asia but I can not sort them out. All those choys and chois are confusing.

    ...

    I probably more familiar with the Korean names, more than
    the Chinese ones too, are You?

    I mostly know them from looks. Gai Lan is my all time favorite. Thats Chinese Broccoli in the USA. There's a reasonable chance folks in Vladivostok know it and gave it a Russian name. It has a fairly slender stalk and leaves instead of the flower shape. The leaves are also good in a warm soup but the stalk is what you get it for.

    Yum Choi is a good enough name for the mustard greens but they have different names for them depending on size/age. The stalks are curved and bigger ones at the base can actually be used as a small scoop for other foods. Very good when young.

    Steaming is a popular way to make both of them here.
