Asian style scrambled egg with baby kai-lan

kai-lan, also written Gai lan is the Chinese name for Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra. This is a leafy vegetable featuring thick, flat, glossy blue-green leaves with thick stems with flower heads, similar to but much smaller than broccoli. It is also known as Chinese broccoli or Chinese kale. Young or tender kai-lan is referred to as baby kai-lan. Mature kai-lan is bigger and is also used in cooking.
