StuckInYYZ! We ate the leaves, but MIL says she also likes to make the stems if she can find them.
Thanks. I like the leaves as well. I usually try to stir fry it with bits of pork lard or salted fish and shallots. The stem is often sold here, but I've never actually tried cooking it before. Food prices are rising so it might be a good time to learn how to cook ingredients I've never tried before.
