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.
