How is Broccoli used in Thai cooking?

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable - low in calories, high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It's not a traditional Northern Thai green; you're more likely to meet its local cousin, Chinese broccoli (gai lan), in everyday dishes. Where regular broccoli does appear, it's cut into florets and stir-fried hot and fast so it keeps its colour and a bit of crunch. Think of it as a familiar, milder stand-in for the slightly bitter, leafier greens that Thai cooks reach for first.
