I got them last time when I went back to Hong Kong.
I sowed them in April. It went all bolt with flowers. So I cut off the stem with flowers on t make a stir fired. ;D ;D
Sowed again in July. This time it come better.

Yes these are kinds of Lo Pok is green. They grow 4/5 above the ground. Leaving 1/5  in the soil. That right that part was white(see picture).
Last night when I reading T& M seed catalogue 2006. Found one look a like. They call it Chinese Radish Green Goddess.The picture show it already in sliced. Not sure is it round or long carrot.But sure the leaves doesn't look like what it show on the picture. :o :o yuet
