Choy Sum Rice

There is a Japanese ‘Mazegohan’ dish called ‘Nappa Gohan’, which is also called ‘Nameshi’ (菜飯). It is a dish of Rice mixed with Green Leafy Vegetable, that can be Daikon Radish leaves OR Turnip leaves. ‘Komatsuna’ is also popularly used. The Green Leafy Vegetable is blanched OR stir-fried, seasoned, and mixed with freshly cooked Rice. Freeze-dried seasoning mix is also available from stores in Japan. But, here in Australia where I live, I need to use whatever substitute I can find. I believe Choy Sum, a Chinese vegetable, is the best substitute. It is easy to find and perfect for this rice dish.
