If you've never tried gai lan or bok choy before you really don't know what you're missing. I grew up being a very picky vegetable eater, but these two vegetables are some of my favourite foods. Find a good Chinese restaurant in Chinatown downtown or up in Scarborough/Markham/Richmond Hill and order some as a side dish. Then learn to cook them at home for low-cost, extremely savoury, and nutritious vegetable options in your staple diet. I was on a low-carb diet years ago and I practically lived on these two and they never got old. They're quite filling for a vegetable too.
