Baby kailan stir fry with brown beans


Buy baby kai-lan, I mean young kai-lan. Kai-lan has a strong taste. It is also slightly bitter. Young kai-lan has a relatively milder and less bitter taste. Hence I am using baby kai-lan instead of mature one.

The ingredients used in this recipe will remove the bitterness and will give it a pleasant taste. Even the mature kai-lan will taste good with these ingredients.
