The stalks are considered the best part, having the taste of a mild broccoli. Use it the same way you would any other Asian green. Tonight we&nbsp;used it in &nbsp;a <a href=\"http:\/\/fairsharenews.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/what-to-do-with-your-share-week-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stir-fry<\/a> with plum sauce. A mustard based sauce is also good with gai lan.<\/p>\n<p>Another great recipe is for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/336676\/butter-pecan-sweet-potatoes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Butter-Pecan Sweet Potatoes<\/a>. We ate this dish all through the holiday week. It was a perfect combination of our sweet potatoes and some fresh Missouri pecans that we picked up at the Bad Seed Friday Market. Rebecca trialed this as our dish to bring at Thanksgiving, and it is sure to turn into a regular pot-luck contribution. <br \/>\ufeff\ufeff<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\ufeff<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-bNjXiqyooyU\/Up6UAKovzWI\/AAAAAAAAC2c\/979RCnOGF0w\/s1600\/ed101006_1104_sweetpot_vert.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-bNjXiqyooyU\/Up6UAKovzWI\/AAAAAAAAC2c\/979RCnOGF0w\/s400\/ed101006_1104_sweetpot_vert.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">From marthastewart.com.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">In the fields the soils has cooled down and there is very little biological activity.
