| − | '''Yu choy''' (also '''edible rape''' or '''green chouk uyn jak sum''') is a green leafy vegetable used in [[Cookbook:Cuisine of China|Chinese]] and [[Cookbook:Southeast Asian cuisines|South-east Asian cooking]]. It is mainly 0.4"-diameter green branching stems, with some dark green leaves and yellow flower heads. Yu choy is related to [[Cookbook:Bok Choy|bok choy]] (leaves used) and [[Cookbook:Broccoli|broccoli]] (flower buds used). Yu choy is harvested as the plant bolts, which is when the low-growing plant suddenly shoots up stems to support flowers.
