Leafy Vegetables. Chinese flowering cabbage (bok choy) and Chinese broccoli (gai larn) all cook easily: Chop the root base, peel off the leaf stalks or leaves, rinse well and chop coarsely. All parts of the plant can be used, including the stems, although they require a longer cooking time than the leaves. But the bright green color of these vegetables is lost if they are overcooked.
