This is an easy way of cooking vegetables Chinese style. You can fry many other vegetables like, spinach, iceberg lettuce, green beans, asparagus etc. in the same way. They must not be overcooked, the crispness being the key to this simple yet tasty dish. Kai Lan is a vegetable similar to broccoli tops, which can substitute it, if you can?t find Kai Lan.
