Local Chye Sim, commonly used in Chinese cuisine, is a leafy vegetable that has slender and smooth stems and broad flat green leaves. It has a milder flavor and goes well when it is stir-fried with garlic.

As with most vegetables, Chye Sim thrive optimally in fertile, loose and well-drained soil with good water retention. For optimal plant nutrition, add compost and/or mulch occasionally to replenish nutrient levels in soil; or apply a small amount of organic fertiliser every 1-2 weeks for optimal growth.
