From Springdell:

Kohlrabi: Originated in northwestern Europe – most likely in Germany. The word kohlrabi literally translates to “cabbage turnip.” This name is very appropriate as kohlrabi is a member of the cabbage family but has a large edible bulb that resembles that of an alien. However, unlike the turnip, kohlrabi is not a root vegetable. The large bulb is actually part of the stem, not the root system. It comes in two main varieties, white and purple. Tiny bulbs do not need to be peeled before eating but the size at which we harvest does! Kohlrabi is related to cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts and happens to be a great source of vitamin C and potassium.

Sizzling rice topped with delicious combinations of meat and veggies, an egg and distinctly flavorful sauce in a stone hot pot (optional but recommended) is really something special. The only two pantry ingredients that you might need are Gochujang (available at Asian Markets or well-stocked supermarkets) and sesame oil, and you’ve got yourself a party!
