Choy sum, also known as choi sum / cai xin / Chinese flowering cabbage / gunsho, is a leafy green stir-fry vegetable that resembles bok choy and rapini. The choy sum is briefly blanched in this simple stir-fry dish before being cooked in a pan over high heat with an easy garlic sauce. The resulting dish is tasty and nutritious, and it would go well as a side dish to any Asian-inspired meal.
