It depends, in china pork and chicken are more popular than beef which is more on par with lamb. And they use less broccoli and more cabbage family veggies.

It's clear what you meant, of course – but it's an interesting tidbit that broccoli is a "cabbage-family" vegetable!

In fact, broccoli is the same species as cabbage, which are both cultivars of Brassica oleracea.

Gah, you're right I'd forgotten. I meant the cuisine tends to the more leafy versions of the cruciferous veggies like cabbage, "white vegetable", and some others.
Really, gai-lan is tastier anyways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kai-lan
