Gai lan or kai-lan is a variety of Brassica oleracea grown for its long, tender inflorescence stems. It doesn't form a dense mass of flower buds like broccoli, but the part that is most often eaten are the succulent flower stems plus some amount of the small, unopened or barely-opened flower heads.
It is eaten widely in Chinese cuisine, often boiled/steamed and with some kind of savory sauce such as oyster sauce.
