Stir-Fried Chinese BroccoliGEORGE WHITESIDE

Pad Pak Khana

This vegetable is more about leaves and stalks than its namesake cousin. It also has a sweeter flavor and juicier stems. All those green buds eventually blossom into white flowers, so when you're at the market, be sure to look for those with only a few open flowers — and the thinner the stalk, the better.

Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 15 min

Cooks' note:

Broccoli can be trimmed and cut 6 hours ahead and chilled in a sealed plastic bag
