My friend Takechan had the leftover stir-fried rice and I had the kimchi. We came up with this celery dish because we thought the colors would be pretty. Nanohana is a popular springtime food, taken in obento lunch boxes to flower viewing festivals and picnics. Think of the flowers as a palette cleanser to the spicy celery. Nanohana--Mustard Flower, is in the same family as cabbage, radish, turnip, broccoli and Bok Choi. When plants are left alone (not harvested) pretty yellow flowers form. Save the blooming flowers for decoration, but some buds mixed in with the bolted stems are fine to eat. Some buds taste more bitter as they bloom. <br />I liked this post <br />http://www.growingwithplants.com/2009/04/nanohana-appreciating-mustard-flower.html
