Searching Chinese broccoli, I read that it has a slight bitterness compared to western broccoil, but I did not detect any bitterness at all. This does have the taste of regular broccoli, just not as strong. It is a new favorite for me - delicious. If you can find it, give it a try! For this dish, the broccoli was only blanched till the stems were crisp-tender - wasn't stir-fried. Just used as a bed for the pork mixture.

It is the Italian version but it is pretty bitter. I am wondering if the Chinese might be sweeter like regular broccoli... This does look great, and I love how cornstarch can make for an amazing sauce in stir fries!

I can't remember if mine were peeled or unpeeled, but they were big and without stems. I love your idea of of cutting up the stems too.
