I really like it, Nicky. It's tenderer and sweeter than European broccoli
and most of the dark green leafies I've eaten. Jun stir-fries it with a
little Oyster sauce. Chinese restaurants steam it, then sprinkle some
Oyster sauce on when they serve it. I only know it as a side dish like
that.

Have you tried Bitter Melon (which isn't bitter)? It's real good in soups
and good for your BG. A morning tea made from thin, dried slices is nice,
too. When I was living in the mountains in Thailand, I had a big, steaming
cup of it every morning at sunrise, as I watched the dragonflies devouring
mosquitos.
