Chinese Broccoli is a fast-growing leafy green known for its tender stems, dark leaves, and small side florets. This variety, Ryokuho, offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness. Once mature, harvest by cutting outer leaves individually and removing small side florets by snipping their stems at the base, while keeping the main central stem and growing point intact for continued production. In the kitchen, Chinese Broccoli shines in stir-fries, steaming, sautéing with garlic, soy-based braises, or as an addition to soups and noodle dishes, where its crisp stems and silky leaves add both texture and flavor.
