I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about food identification. Try http://cooking.stackexchange.com ?

@congusbongus: It is about food identification **and** Chinese vocabulary. Cooking.SE is about cooking and I have no question about cooking this mystery vegetable. Therefore it would be more off topic there. Even if they accepted the question they are unlikely to also know the Chinese word.
