what is this and what can I do with it?

Found this at the veggie shop today and have no idea what it is or what to do with it. But it looked so neat I had to buy it.

Anyone know what it is?

Tat soi or tai goo or flat cabbage (or several variations of those names). Beautiful, isn’t it? It’s in the bok choy family (cousin, I think). Wash it well, then eat it raw in salads, lightly steamed, added to soup, stir-fried with soy sauce ‘n garlic ‘n ginger ‘n chile flakes, etc. Don’t let it hang around too long after you bought it.

Looks like it’s from the Sci-fi flick, “The Blob”. Watch out!
