Choi sum is a leafy vegetable commonly used in Chinese cuisine. It is a member of the genus Brassica of the mustard family, Brassicaceae.
Choi sum is a transliteration of the Cantonese name, which can be literally translated as 'heart of the vegetable' says Wikipedia. Now, you didn't think I knew all this; did you?!

It's also known as Chinese flowering cabbage and is a perfect side dish to any Chinese meal - Choi sum.
Also spelt 'Choy' sum is much the same as bok choi or pak choi, they are all part of the Chinese cabbage family.
This is so easy, all you need is some kind of steamer - a bamboo steamer is ideal, it sits on a trivet over boiling water in a wok.
