Broccoli Kailaan

Broccoli Kailaan is a popular oriental leafy green, vegetable with the florets of broccoli, the stems of asparagus, and leaves like tender collard greens. It has a mild flavour with a sweet and and is perfect for stir-fries and steaming.

One of the best ways to enjoy is to cook it Hong Kong Style. The vegetables are either blanched or steamed, then topped with a little oyster sauce. The beauty of this dish is its simplicity and it compliments chicken, fish or meat dishes.

Kailaan needs to be young and tender when harvested, just as the buds emerge before the flowers open. Like European broccoli, Kailaan Broccoli can be harvested multiple times. When the main shoot is harvested the first time, auxiliary shoots will grow.
