I mostly know them from looks.  Gai Lan is my all time favorite.  Thats Chinese
Broccoli in the USA.  There's a reasonable chance folks in Vladivostok know it
and gave it a Russian name.  It has a fairly slender stalk and leaves instead
of the flower shape.  The leaves are also good in a warm soup but the stalk is
what you get it for.

Yum Choi is a good enough name for the mustard greens but they have different
names for them depending on size/age.  The stalks are curved and bigger ones at
the base can actually be used as a small scoop for other foods.  Very good when
young.

Steaming is a popular way to make both of them here.
