One of my favorite vegetables: Celtuce
The tops look like lettuce, you can snap them off and stir fry them or use them in salads
The bottom, after you peel the stalks and cut them up, have a texture and taste reminiscent of asparagus
If you have a Chinatown near you, it’s probably named ‘wosun’
This Chinese Vegetable Is Better Than Broccoli
Chinese lettuce, aka celtuce, aka stem lettuce, aka asparagus lettuce, is a versatile vegetable that's great in stir-fries and soups. Here's how to cook it.

Pickled celtuce recipe
It’s Not Too Late to Pickle Celtuce | Red Cook
Today is the autumnal equinox and that means summer is officially over. But with the unusually warm weather we’ve been enduring lately, it doesn’t feel like autumn at all. (What global warming?) Farmers’ markets throughout the city are still selling tomatoes, and Harlem watermelon vendors are still hawking this summer fruit at their sidewalk stalls. Last weekend I was delighted to find some wonderful looking celtuce, a summer vegetable, in Chinatown and thought that it was not too late to make soy-pickled celtuce.
