Choy Sum (Cai Lan)

Description

Many types of soups in Vietnam has Choy Sum as the main ingredient. With a subtly bitter flavor and long-lasting sweet taste, the veggie is commonly dipped into broth to enrich the flavor of hotpots. In addition, it can be eaten raw in salads, stir-fried with beef or mushroom and boiled as a normal vegetable. However, the veggie should be washed thoroughly before processed due to the fact that Vietnamese farmers currently spray many kinds of pesticides onto the veggie.
