This veggie is gonna rock yo world
Dear future me - if you are reading this years from now, know that this was written during what I am now calling the Quaronavirus Era. This was a time when we were all asked to self-quarantine as much as possible, ‘social distancing’ became the new in-vogue phrase, and toilet paper briefly became more valuable than gold. But if there was a glimmer of light in this pandemic, it’s that many more people have started cooking on their own and trying new foods. Friends who I have never seen express an interest in cooking or baking have begun making beautiful dishes (And I couldn't be happier).
So what does Coronavirus have to do with Chinese Broccoli you may be wondering? Well, as long as everyone is eager to become the captain of their kitchen and until we can freely socialize again, I’m going to encourage you to keep trying new foods, and especially new vegetables. While many asian vegetables can be hard to find in your local Safeway or Kroger, a growing exception is Chinese Broccoli. This hearty green vegetable is becoming readily available in most supermarkets and is a delicious, easy to prepare way to get your 5-a-day. So while we're all stuck indoors, why not try out something new while you have the extra time?
Let’s dive in.
